From HIV infection to onset, the human body has a complete natural process, which is clinically divided into four stages: acute infection, incubation period, early AIDS and typical AIDS.
After the symptoms of the acute infection period of AIDS appear, the Asymptomatic period will continue to appear, that is, the incubation period of AIDS. When the cellular immune function is low, generally speaking, the incubation period of AIDS can last for 2-10 years, more than 15 years. Next, experts introduced the symptoms of AIDS incubation period.
Experts introduced the symptoms of AIDS incubation period
1、 Skin damage
Skin mucosa is one of the main parts of AIDS, and many AIDS patients take skin damage as the first symptom. The clinical manifestations of skin rash, systemic pruritus, Genital wart, contact condyloma, Hives, etc. are various.
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 Langerhans cells and skin cells, which leads to the decline of skin cell immune function, resulting in infection, which is difficult to treat and easy to recur. Among various infections, Herpes simplex, Shingles, chronic acne Folliculitis and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis are of the greatest significance.
2. Non infectious skin and mucosal lesions. Other skin lesions may occur in AIDS patients. The most common are Seborrhoeic dermatitis, herpetic or measles pruritic rash, annular processes, Folliculitis, yellow nail syndrome, vasculitis, cluster alopecia, blood spots, eosinophilic pustular Folliculitis, multiple eyelashes, etc.
3. Tumor skin manifestations, including KS, lymphoma, Cutaneous squamous-cell carcinoma, Basal-cell carcinoma, etc. KS sarcoma is the most common early manifestation. Sarcomas are single or spreading, with a color change from light brown to deep purple. Its shape can change from plaque to tumor nodule, or it can filter foam, Shingles or linear, and KS in non AIDS patients is compared with many atypical sarcomas.
Lymphadenopathy
In the incubation period of AIDS, the incidence rate of Lymphadenopathy is 55%~100%. When high-risk patients have Lymphadenopathy, which cannot be explained by other reasons, it is likely to be related to HIV infection. Although swollen lymph nodes are systemic, they are more common in the posterior cervical, submaxillary, or axillary lymph nodes. Enlarged lymph nodes do not fuse, are hard, occasionally tender, and have no surface skin changes.
