 AB    Individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) present
       frequently to emergency departments for treatment of complications. A
       working knowledge of the multisystem problems seen in HIV-infected
       patients is essential for the emergency physician. These problems are
       reviewed, with an emphasis on the respiratory, central nervous system,
       and gastrointestinal complications seen in patients with the acquired
       immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). A practical approach is offered for
       management of febrile episodes and the other problems an emergency
       physician is likely to encounter.
