abstract: A total of 237 patients with AIDS have been observed in the infectious Disease Division of the United Hospitals of Bergamo during the past six years. Five patients (4.21%), suffering from TB and PCP, revealed PNX which was characterised by being bilateral and recurrent; it was a concomitant cause of death in 2 patients. The complications which occurred included acute pulmonary heart, pulmonary edema due to reexpansion and irreversible shock.
