We report a series of six cases from a single institution. During the past six years, chylous ascites was diagnosed in six (35%) of 17 AIDS patients, all of whom had previously been diagnosed with intra-abdominal MAC immune reconstitution syndrome (MAC-IRS). A review of medical records identified no other cases of chylous ascites among HIV-positive patients over the past 13 years (1994\u20132007), and the incidence was estimated at one in 2248 HIV-positive admissions. The ascitic fluid had a milky appearance and a median triglyceride level of 4.07 mmol\/L (range 3.19\u201329.6 mmol\/L) (360 mg\/dL, range 282\u20132620 mg\/dL). After a median follow-up of 20 months, five (83%) of six patients survived. Chylous ascites is a late complication of intra-abdominal MAC-IRS, and is usually associated with a favourable prognosis. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/ijsa.2008.008275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,3,21]],"date-time":"2009-03-21T01:00:37Z","timestamp":1237597237000},"page":"285-287","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Chylous ascites: a late complication of intra-abdominal <i>Mycobacterium avium<\/i> complex immune reconstitution syndrome in HIV-infected patients"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"P","family":"Phillips","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases"},{"name":"British Columbia Center for Excellence in HIV\/AIDS"},{"name":"St Paul's Hospital"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J K","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of British Columbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, University of Toronto"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Yoshida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gastroenterology, Vancouver General Hospital"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V D","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"British Columbia Center for Excellence in HIV\/AIDS"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Montaner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"British Columbia Center for Excellence in HIV\/AIDS"},{"name":"St Paul's Hospital"},{"name":"Division of AIDS, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-96-3-358"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/msy.2000.109502"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2002.05911.x"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/497269"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006454-199301000-00022"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02100149"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.1999.01165.x"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00201522"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C9","volume-title":"Categorical Data Analysis Using the SAS System","author":"Stokes ME","year":"2000","edition":"2"},{"key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.aids.0000161769.06158.8a"},{"volume-title":"Presented at XVI International AIDS Conference","year":"2006","author":"Phillips P","key":"bibr-IJSA-08-275C11"}],"container-title":["International Journal of STD &amp; AIDS"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/ijsa.2008.008275","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1258\/ijsa.2008.008275","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/ijsa.2008.008275","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,3]],"date-time":"2025-03-03T07:16:52Z","timestamp":1740986212000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/ijsa.2008.008275"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,4]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/ijsa.2008.008275"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/ijsa.2008.008275","relation":{},"ISSN":["0956-4624","1758-1052"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0956-4624"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1758-1052"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,4]]}}}
