The above images reveal the sonographic appearances of a patient with confirmed AIDS. The spleen shows multiple hypoechoic lesions with enlargement (splenomegaly). There are also multiple enlarged preaortic and paraortic lymph nodes. These ultrasound images suggest miliary tuberculosis (confirmed histopathologically) of the spleen in AIDS. The lesions represent microabscesses of the spleen in tuberculosis. Ultrasound images taken with Toshiba Xario color doppler machine, courtesy of Dr. Gunjan Puri, Surat, India.
