Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can cause vascular complications. This is most often of lower limb venous thrombosis. Rare cases of limb ischemia indicative of HIV infection have been described.We report a case of venous thrombosis of the left lower limb and bilateral lower arterial ischemia revealing an HIV infection in a patient of 44 years. The CD4 count was 195/mm(3). Investigations on coagulation were not realized. The patient was amputated both his legs.
