Resumen

Los cuadros de dolor abdominal en la población infectada por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) son frecuentes, debido a las enfermedades asociadas a este virus, por lo que a menudo se producen errores y retrasos en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la apendicitis aguda, incrementándose la tasa de complicaciones.

En este trabajo se describe un caso de fístula apendicocutánea en un paciente infectado por el VIH al que no se le diagnosticó una apendicitis aguda.

Palabras clave:
Apendicitis aguda
Fístula apendicular
VIH

Because of associated diseases, abdominal pain in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients is frequent. Consequently, diagnostic errors and delays in the treatment of appendicitis are common and the complication rate increases. We report a case of appendical-cutaneous fistula in an HIV-infected patient in whom acute appendicitis was not diagnosed.

Key words:
Acute appendicitis
Appendicular fistula
Human immunodeficiency virus
