title: [Pulmonary complications in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Results of a prospective study].
abstract: Between 1983 and 1987, a stepwise diagnostic programme was undertaken prospectively in 37 of 100 HIV-positive patients with 40 bronchopulmonary infections. It consisted chiefly of flexible bronchoscopy combined with lavage, transbronchial biopsy and/or removal of bronchial brush cells. Taking into account all examinations performed in life and at autopsy, 25 of the 37 patients had Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (67.5%), 13 had bacterial pneumonia, six of these were mycobacterial infections (atypical mycobacteria in four), eight had neoplasms (pulmonary Kaposi's sarcoma in five, squamous-cell carcinoma in two, and Hodgkin's disease in one), and four patients had cytomegalovirus infection. Total diagnostic success of bronchoscopy was 78%; related to Pneumocystis pneumonia it was 91%.
