title: Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis and lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis in a person with HIV infection.
abstract: A wide variety of rheumatologic complications have been reported in the setting of HIV-1 infection. We present the case of an HIV-1-infected patient with small-vessel vasculitis and inflammatory lung disease. This case illustrates the complexity of the differential diagnosis of inflammatory and autoimmune disease states in HIV-1-infected patients.
