title: [The etiological profile of the pulmonary manifestations in AIDS patients (studies of 65 cases recorded in Romania up to 1 March 1993)].
abstract: HIV infection and its final form as AIDS were ignored by the public opinion in Romania till 1990. Nowadays it is real fact in our country. Out of total number of 2235 AIDS cases declared till March 1st 1993 by the Ministry of Health only 134 were adult persons. The study concerns 65 cases of AIDS in adults in order to find out the lung symptoms proportion as etiologic features, to settle the ways of transmission of HIV infection and to warn the romanian pneumologists on this problem. The study shows that in 56.9% of total cases, lung symptoms were noted and in 49.2% the lung disease revealed the AIDS. Out of the total number of 65 cases, 24.6% showed tuberculosis as a first disease, 12.4% lung pneumocystosis, 7.76 Kaposi syndrome with lung expression and 4.5% other pneumopathies.
