The HIV epidemic in the Asian subcontinent has a significant impact on India.
The AIDS associated pathology has not been well evaluated in a representative study hence very little is known about the spectrum of HIV/AIDS associated diseases in Indian subcontinent.
To determine the important postmortem findings in HIV infected individuals in Mumbai, autopsy study was carried out.
The patient population included patients with AIDS who died at the tertiary care hospital over a 20 year period from 1988 to 2007.
A total of 236 (182; 77% males and 54; 23%) females) patients with AIDS were autopsied.
The main risk factor for HIV transmission was heterosexual contact (226 patients; 96%) and 223/236 (94%) patients died of HIV-related diseases.
Tuberculosis was the prime cause of death in 149 (63%) patients, followed by bacterial pneumonia 33 (14%), cryptococcosis 18 (8%), toxoplasmosis of brain 15 (6%), pneumocystis jiroveci (PCJ) 1 (0.5%) and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma 7 (3%) cases.
The major underlying pathologies are either preventable or treatable conditions.
There is an urgent need for attention towards the diagnosis, issue of therapy, and care of HIV disease in developing countries.
Reducing mortality in patients with AIDS from infections must be highest public health policy in India.
