title: [Pneumocystosis in HIV infected patients presenting with acid-fast bacilli negative pneumopathy at the Central University Hospital at Dakar].
abstract: Pneumocystosis is an opportunist parasitic disease which occurs currently at Europe and United States in HIV infected patients. In Africa, the disease is not current. Pneumocystosis has been detected in the Fann medical universitary center at Dakar from HIV infected patients with acido alcoholo resistant bacilli negative pneumopathy. Analysis of broncho alveolar liquid(BAL) of 29 patients after Giemsa and Blue of Toluidin O staining allowed isolating of two cases of pneumocystosis. A man and a woman were the patients. They were HIV1 positive with at X ray bilateral interstitial syndrome. The CD4 lymphocytes count of the one was lower than 200/mm3 and for the other it was higher than 200/mm3.
