Abstract | Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 2 infection is predominantly
found in West African nations, and approximately 1 - 2 million
people are thought to be infected. HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN)
occurs in about 7% of patients with HIV-1 infection and is one of the most
important causes of end-stage renal disease in this population. The only reported
case of HIVAN related to HIV-2 infection was described by Izzedine
et al. (2006). Aim: The aim of this paper is to report a case of HIVAN in an
HIV-2-infected patient, a rarely described condition. Case presentation: We
describe a case of a 40-year-old HIV-2-infected female from Angola hospitalized
following a six-month history of fever, fatigue, anorexia and weight loss.
Laboratory data revealed anaemia, leukopenia and renal dysfunction with
nephrotic range proteinuria. Renal biopsy was performed, revealing findings
consistent with HIVAN. Also, a presumed diagnosis of ganglionic tuberculosis
was established. Conclusion: The slow progression of HIV-2 disease could
explain the low frequency of this condition, however, more studies should be
carried out for a better understanding of HIV-2 pathophysiology and its associated
complications. | pt_BR |
