From September 1986 to September 1994, 34 emergency laparotomies were performed in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive patients. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Group A included 11 HIV seropositive patients without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In these patients, indications for exploration included right lower quadrant pain consistent with appendicitis in 6 patients, right upper quadrant pain consistent with cholecystitis in 3 patients, small bowel obstruction in 1 patient, and blunt abdominal trauma in 1 patient. No postoperative deaths were observed. Group B included 23 AIDS patients. Indications for exploration were diffuse peritonitis in 8 patients, right lower quadrant pain consistent with appendicitis in 6 patients, right upper quadrant pain consistent with cholecystitis in 5 patients, bowel obstruction in 2 patients, diffuse abdominal pain in 1 patient, and massive rectal hemorrhage in 1 patient. The mortality rate in this group was 35% (8 out of 23 patients). Five of the 8 patients with diffuse peritonitis died postoperatively (62%). The importance of early diagnosis and prompt surgery is emphasized to improve the prognosis in AIDS patients, because of their poor general condition and the severity of abdominal complications.
