Clinical presentation of pulmonary mycetoma in HIV-infected patients.

Study Objective: s: Although pulmonary mycetoma has been well-described in immunocompetent hosts, the only description in HIV-infected patients has been of 10 patients from our institution, from 1992 to 1995. To further investigate the impact of HIV status on the presentation and course of pulmonary mycetoma, we conducted a follow-up study.

Design: Retrospective review of all cases of pulmonary mycetoma at Bellevue Hospital from 1992 to 1999.
