title: Primary pulmonary hypertension in a HIV+ patient.
abstract: Recent reports have suggested a possible association between HIV infection and primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). We report the case of a HIV+ patient, without manifestations of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), who presented with signs of elevated pulmonary arterial pressure.
