The human body has a complete natural process from HIV infection to the onset of disease. This process is clinically divided into acute infection period, incubation period, pre AIDS, and typical AIDS period.
After the symptoms of AIDS acute infection period appear, the asymptomatic period continues to appear, that is, the incubation period of AIDS. The disease starts when the cellular immune function is low. Generally, the incubation period of AIDS can last for 2 to 10 years, or more than 15 years. Next, experts will introduce the symptoms of AIDS incubation period.
Experts introduce AIDS latency symptoms
1. Skin damage
Skin mucosa is one of the main parts of AIDS invasion, and many AIDS patients take skin damage as the first symptom. There are various clinical manifestations, such as rash, systemic itching, genital warts, contact genital warts, urticaria, etc.
1。 Infectious skin and mucosal lesions. 64% of AIDS patients are accompanied by skin infection. It is believed that the occurrence of skin infection is mainly due to the reduction of Th cells and skin Langerhans cells, which leads to the reduction of skin cell immune function, resulting in infection, which is difficult to treat and easy to relapse. Among various infections, severe herpes simplex, herpes zoster, chronic acne like folliculitis, and chronic skin mucosal candidiasis have the greatest significance.
2。 Non infectious skin and mucosal lesions. AIDS patients can have other skin lesions. The most common ones are seborrheic dermatitis, herpetic or measles itching rash, circular granulomatous protrusions, folliculitis, yellow nail syndrome, vasculitis, cluster alopecia, blood spots, eosinophilic pustular folliculitis, eyelash syndrome, etc.
3。 Tumor skin manifestations include KS, lymphoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, etc. KS sarcoma is the most common initial manifestation in AIDS patients. The sarcoma is single or disseminated, and the color changes from light brown to dark purple. The shape of KS sarcoma is from plaque to tumor nodule, and it is also filter blister, zoster like or linear, which is not typical compared with KS sarcoma in non AIDS patients.
2. Lymph node enlargement
During the incubation period of AIDS, the incidence of lymphadenopathy was 55%~100%. When the lymphadenopathy of high-risk patients could not be explained by other reasons, the possibility of AIDS infection was high. Enlarged lymph nodes are systemic, but are more common in the posterior cervical, submaxillary, or axillary lymph nodes. The enlarged lymph nodes do not fuse, are hard and occasionally tender, with no surface skin changes.
