[Bacterial lung diseases from common bacteria during HIV infection in African adults hospitalized in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire].
In this retrospective study, authors compare radiographic and clinical aspects in two groups of patients. They are hospitalized for bacterial pneumonia and distinguished by HIV serological profile (HIV+ or HIV-). Positif HIV serologic is observed in 60% among 96 patients included in this study. An african adult infected by HIV shows not much particularity. We notice however that dyspnoea is observed more frequently in the subject infected by HIV+: 74% against 26% of the groups HIV-. Reoccurring pneumoniae are only observed in the subject infected with HIV+: 12%. Extensive and bilateral radiographic lesions were more observed in HIV+ patients. Causative agent has been isolated in 11 cases (9 pneumococcus: 81%). The antibiotic treatment has a same result in two groups (HIV- and HIV+). Thus it is necessary to undertake research for further information concerning etiologies of bacterial pneumonia in HIV+ subjects in African countries.
