title: [Differential radiologic diagnosis of HIV-associated lung diseases].
abstract: In 1993 in Germany an estimated number of 50,000-70,000 individuals were infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), WHO estimations ranged up to 14 million HIV-positive individuals including 1 million children. AIDS-related diseases frequently occur in the lung. 65% of all AIDS-defining illnesses begin with life-threatening pulmonary infections. Most frequently HIV-positive patients present with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, followed by atypical mycobacteriosis, bacterial infections, Kaposi's sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The purpose of this article is to identify pulmonary HIV-associated diseases by focusing on radiological patterns and correlating them with clinical findings.
