[Inadequate ADH secretion syndrome associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome].
Within the numerous complications of AIDS, we want to point out the appearance of inadequate ADH secretion syndrome (IADHSS) in 9 out of; patients, which constitutes a higher percentage than in the general population. In all cases IADHSS was associated to lung or central nervous system pathology. In one patient, IADHSS preceded the appearance Pneumocystis carinii pneumonitis. Therefore, if hyponatremia is founding AIDS patients, the existence of adrenal pathology or IADHSS should be suspected.
