[Radiographic findings in Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and its complications in HIV patients].
We have performed a retrospective study of 61 cases of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) among the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) seropositive population at the 11th Health Area of the Comunidad de Madrid with microbiological diagnosis until January 1994. We made an Epidemiologic analysis of this PCP group and compared it with the Epidemiologic data of the general HIV population in Madrid. Besides, we studied the radiologic manifestations and their possible associations with several factors (sex, HIV risk factor, time of HIV risk practice, time of HIV infection, associated infections, number of CD4 lymphocytes, radiologic secuelae, time of healing, mortality, number of PCP episodes, time interval from primoinfection to death). The goal of our study is to show the Statistical associations between these variables.
