title: [A case of AIDS with miliary tuberculosis].
abstract: A 22 year-old Thai male was admitted to our hospital because of chest pain and dyspnea. In 1989, he met with a traffic accident and was injured his head and the arm, and was given a blood transfusion in Thai. Laboratory examinations on admission revealed that serolopositivity for HIV, and CD4+T lymphocyte count was 17/microliter. Chest X-ray on admission showed bilateral diffuse nodular shadow, and he was diagnosed as miliary tuberculosis with AIDS. On the chest X-ray, in the right upper middle lung fields, the shadow was rough and partly influent. In the left lung, the nodular shadow were smaller and distributed evenly. As there was a difference in the distribution of nodular shadows between the left and right lung, the chest X-ray findings of this case was atypical of miliary tuberculosis.
