Abstract: O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar em 129 pacientes com AIDS, necropsiados na Fundação de Medicina Tropical do Amazonas de 1996 a 2003, as causas do óbito, observando o grau de concordância entre os diagnósticos necroscópicos com os diagnósticos clínicos. A doença mais freqüente que causou o óbito foi tuberculose 28%, seguida de pneumonia bacteriana 17%, histoplasmose 13%, toxoplasmose 10%, pneumocistose 8%, criptococose 5%, sepse bacteriana 4% e 15% outras causas.

“…Despite the global trend of reducing the number of necropsies due to an increased use of radiological and laboratory tests in pre-mortem diagnosis, necropsy remains important even today, as the discrepancy rates between pre-mortem and postmortem findings in AIDS vary from 42 to 74%. Despite significant advances in diagnostic procedures, false-positive and false-negative diagnosis in the absence of necropsy still exist 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 . Necropsies are essential procedures for the quality control in university hospitals, and have helped to further understanding of the most frequent diseases in patients with HIV/AIDS 13 .…”
