abstract:
Cases of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension have been
reported in HIV-negative patients as a result from exposure
to adenosine analogues (e.g. azathioprine), bacterial
infections, trace metals and chemicals, genetic coagulation
disorders and/or autoimmune diseases. More
recently, reports of similar cases in HIV-positive individuals
have attracted much attention.
