Abstract

A 43-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for disorder of consciousness and emaciation, we diagnosed him as AIDS and immediately administerd anti-virus medicines through a nasal tube. However his condition gradually deteriorated. So we placed PEG to keep the route for nutrition and medication. After that, his condition got better and kept stable. It is thought that PEG is effective for AIDS patients.
