      people to AIDS It's very familiar, because people are afraid that they have AIDS, so people will know more about AIDS, but the symptoms of pre-AIDS are critical. It allows people to diagnose AIDS in time and receive timely treatment. The editor below will introduce to you the early symptoms of AIDS.

      Pre-AIDS symptoms

      The period after the incubation period when signs and symptoms associated with AIDS begin to appear and until classic AIDS develops. During this period, there were many names, including "AIDS-related syndrome", "lymphadenopathy-related syndrome", "persistent generalized lymphadenopathy", "pre-AIDS syndrome", etc. At this time, the patient already has the most basic characteristics of AIDS, that is, cellular immune deficiency, but the symptoms are mild.

      A. Swollen lymph nodes

      The most important thing in this issue clinical One of the performances. Mainly superficial lymphadenopathy. The most common sites are the head and neck, armpits, groin, back of the neck, in front of the ears, behind the ears, femoral lymph nodes, submandibular lymph nodes, etc. Usually there are at least two or more parts, and some have as many as a dozen. Enlarged lymph nodes do not respond to general treatment and often remain enlarged for more than half a year. About 30% of patients only have superficial lymphadenopathy clinically, without other systemic symptoms.

      B. Systemic symptoms

      Patients often have viral disease General discomfort, muscle pain and other symptoms. About 50% of cases include fatigue, weakness and periodic low-grade fever, which often last for several months. Night sweats, more than 5 times in 1 month. About 1/3 of patients lose more than 10% of their weight. This weight loss cannot be explained simply by fever, and supplementing with sufficient calories cannot control this weight loss. Some patients have headaches, depression or anxiety, and some experience symptoms of nerve Peripheral lesions may be related to viral invasion of the nervous system, and some may cause reactive mental disorders. Splenomegaly may occur in 3/4 of patients.

      C. Various infections

      In addition to the above-mentioned superficial lymphadenopathy and systemic symptoms, patients often suffer from various specific or recurrent non-fatal infections during this period. Repeated infections can accelerate the progression of the disease, bringing the disease into the typical AIDS phase. About half of patients have severe tinea pedis, which is usually unilateral and lacks effective response to local treatment. Patients often develop it in the armpits and groin. Grape Bullous impetigo is caused by cocci, and condyloma acuminata and verruca vulgaris virus infection often occur in patients with perianal, genital, weight-bearing parts and oral mucosa. The incidence of herpes simplex on the lips and herpes zoster on the chest is also significantly increased compared with the normal population. Oral Candida albicans is also quite common, mainly manifesting as oral mucosal erosion, congestion, and cheese-like covering.

      Other common infections are non-strep pharyngitis, acute and chronic sinusitis, and intestinal parasitic infections. Many patients have more frequent bowel movements that become loose and contain mucus. It may be related to proctitis and invasion of the intestinal tract by various pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, hairy white spots may appear in the oral cavity, and the presence of hairy white spots is an important clue for the early diagnosis of AIDS.

      To sum up, the above content describes the early symptoms of AIDS, which can allow people to better diagnose AIDS, and people must treat AIDS in time and regulate AIDS through diet.
