BRUISING AND MUSCLE SWELING MAY OCCUR IN HIV AS COMPLICATION OF MYOSITIS IN ADVANCED FORM BUT AS SUCH NOT COMMON BETTER YOU EXCLUDE CONTAMINATION OR ALLERGY WITH CAT URNINE FIRST AND TELL US HER CD 4 COUNT AND VIRAL LOAD IF CD4 COUNT MORE THAN 500 SUCH PROBLEM WILL BE LESS LIKELY DUE TO HIV
Hi dear ,
HIV and low platelet count may cause muscle haematomas and bruises.
Hep C and cryoglobulinemia may also cause bleeding tendencies and bruises.
Check platelet count, BT,CT,APTT.
Show it to your HIV physician he will be able to do exact diagnosis and treament.
Take care.
