There and back again: the impact of adult HIV prevalence on national life expectancies.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The aim of the study was to evaluate prospectively the usefulness of fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in investigation of fever of unknown origin (FUO) in HIV-positive patients and to determine whether HIV viraemia impacts on FDG-PET/CT performance. METHODS:Th...
