Cavitary aspergillosis as a complication of AIDS.
The authors report the radiographic findings in two patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who presented with cavitary lung disease caused by Aspergillus. Recognition of the disease in one of the patients led to successful medical therapy. Disease due to Aspergillus must be considered in HIV-positive patients with cystic or cavitary disease appearing in chest radiographs.
