The human body has a complete natural process from infection with AIDS virus to onset, which is clinically divided into four stages: acute infection period, incubation period, pre AIDS period, and typical AIDS period.
After the symptoms of AIDS acute infection period appear, it will continue to be in the Asymptomatic period, that is, the incubation period of AIDS. The disease starts when the cellular immune function is low. Generally, the incubation period of AIDS can last for 2 to 10 years, or more than 15 years. Next, experts will introduce the symptoms of AIDS incubation period.
Experts introduce AIDS latency symptoms
1、 Skin damage
Skin mucosa is one of the main parts of AIDS invasion, and many AIDS patients take skin damage as the primary symptom. There are many clinical manifestations, such as skin rash, systemic pruritus, Genital wart, contact condyloma, Hives, etc.
1. Infectious skin and mucosal lesions. 64% of AIDS patients are accompanied by Skin infection. The occurrence of Skin infection is mainly due to the reduction of Th cells and skin Langerhans cells, the decline of skin cell immune function, which causes infection, treatment difficulties and easy recurrence. Among various infections, the most significant ones are severe Herpes simplex, Shingles, chronic acne like Folliculitis and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.
2. Non infectious skin and mucosal lesions. AIDS patients can have other skin lesions. The most common are Seborrhoeic dermatitis, herpetic or measles pruritic rash, circular Granuloma, circular processes, Folliculitis, yellow nail syndrome, vasculitis, mass alopecia, blood spots, eosinophilic pustular Folliculitis, eyelash disease, etc.
3. Tumorous skin manifestations include KS, lymphoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma, grassroots cell carcinoma, etc. KS sarcoma is the most common initial manifestation in AIDS patients. The sarcoma is single or disseminated, and the color changes from light brown to dark purple. The shape of KS sarcoma is from plaque to tumor nodule, and it is also filter blister, Shingles like or linear, which is not typical compared with KS sarcoma in non AIDS patients.
2、 Lymphadenopathy
During the incubation period of AIDS, the incidence of Lymphadenopathy was 55%~100%. When the Lymphadenopathy of high-risk patients could not be explained by other reasons, the possibility of AIDS infection was high. Enlarged lymph nodes are systemic, but are more common in the posterior cervical, submaxillary, or axillary lymph nodes. The swollen lymph nodes are not fused, with a hard texture and occasional tenderness, and the surface skin remains unchanged.
