Abstract:
:Chylous ascites related to Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) in HIV-infected patients is rare, with only six cases reported in the English literature. We report a series of six cases from a single institution. During the past six years, chylous ascites was diagnosed in six (35%) of 17 AIDS patients, all of whom had previously been diagnosed with intra-abdominal MAC immune reconstitution syndrome (MAC-IRS). A review of medical records identified no other cases of chylous ascites among HIV-positive patients over the past 13 years (1994-2007), and the incidence was estimated at one in 2248 HIV-positive admissions. The ascitic fluid had a milky appearance and a median triglyceride level of 4.07 mmol/L (range 3.19-29.6 mmol/L) (360 mg/dL, range 282-2620 mg/dL). After a median follow-up of 20 months, five (83%) of six patients survived. Chylous ascites is a late complication of intra-abdominal MAC-IRS, and is usually associated with a favourable prognosis.
