- Abstract
We present a case of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Only three cases have previously been reported in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. In these four cases, bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia was similar in presentation, radiographic features and clinical course to that occurring in patients not infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
