title: Airway complications in patients with infection caused by HIV.
abstract: Numerous problems may be identified in the airways of patients with HIV infection. In many cases, these airway conditions represent exaggerations of infections seen in the immunocompetent host. However, in other instances, they represent manifestations of unique problems, infectious and/or neoplastic, that are a consequence of the profound immunosuppression seen in the patient with infection due to HIV.
