Venous Thrombosis

Some authors described deep venous throm­bosis in AIDS, an unsurprising complication in severely bedridden patients. Confusion is possible between pulmonary embolisms and opportunistic pulmonary infections, accord­ing to Pulik et al. [11]. Deep venous throm­bosis and related coagulation disorder in HIV infection are described in detail by L. Drouet in a separate chapter in this volume.
