[Pulmonary manifestations in patients with AIDS].
In acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) the pulmonary opportunistic infections are due to the depression of cellular immunity and they are found in more than 50% of patients. Most frequently the infection is due to Pneumocystis carinii, Cytomegalovirus, Cryptococcus neoformans and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare. Non-opportunistic infections in AIDS are mostly due to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Legionella pneumophila. In Kaposi sarcoma in AIDS the lungs may be involved into pulmonary manifestations of the syndrome. In this paper the diagnostics of pulmonary disturbances in AIDS is briefly evaluated together with the therapy of most frequent pulmonary infections.
