Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy associated with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS.
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a systemic disorder primarily affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues and developing in association with another disease process. Acute pyogenic pulmonary processes (empyema, lung abscess) are occasionally accompanied by transient HOA, but reversible HOA has not previously been reported in the setting of PCP in AIDS.
