Objective: To study postoperative sepsis in HIV/AIDS patients who underwent abdominal operations.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed to study 34 HIV/AIDS patients treated between January 2009 and December 2010 at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center Affiliated to Fudan University.
Results: There were 31 males and 3 females in this cohort with a mean age of 45±13 years. Nineteen patients developed postoperative sepsis. The levels of preoperative CD4, postoperative CD4, preoperative CD4/CD8, and postoperative platelet were significantly lower than those without sepsis (all P<0.05). Among 19 patients with a preoperative CD4 cell count less than or equal to 200×10(6)/L, the incidence of postoperative sepsis rate was 84.2%(16/19), and for those with a preoperative CD4 cell count greater than 200×10(6)/L, the incidence of postoperative sepsis rate was 20.0%(3/15), the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). There were 3 postoperative deaths.
Conclusion: CD4 cell count can be used as a predictive marker for the development of postoperative sepsis in patients with HIV/AIDS.

Orthopedic Surgery <50 Days Following Covid-19 Infection Is Not Associated With Increased Postoperative Complications.
Iowa Orthop J
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa, USA.
Background: Recent literature indicates that COVID-19 infection is a negative predictor of good outcomes following elective orthopedic surgery. However, the ideal timing of surgery after infection is unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of post-operative complications between those who underwent elective orthopedic surgery <50 days and >50 days after COVID-19 infection.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a significant cause of morbidity and death in solid organ transplant recipients. Pre-emptive treatment of patients with CMV viraemia using antiviral agents has been suggested as an alternative to routine prophylaxis to prevent CMV disease. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2006 and updated in 2013.
