Abstract

Infectious and noninfectious forms of pulmonary disease are the most common complications of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), and many are amenable to treatment. We describe the clinical and radiologic features of the most common causes of lung disease in AIDS patients and review the drugs available for treatment. In addition, we provide a strategy for the clinical assessment and management of patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection who have lung infiltrates.
