title: [AIDS: clinical and necropsy correlation. Analysis of 45 patients].
abstract: We have reviewed the autopsies performed on 45 AIDS patients who died in our hospital until June 1989, comparing the post-mortem diagnosis with those made while the patient was alive and in his last hospital admission. Bacterial pneumonia, CMV infection and atypical mycobacteria were the diseases most frequently unnoticed. On the contrary, HIV encephalitis and pulmonary mycosis were the disease with the greatest number of non confirmed clinical diagnosis. The routine performance of necropsy studies to AIDS patients permits to know the most prevalent infections in our environment and should improve the diagnostic precision.
