[The pulmonary manifestations in AIDS].

Clinical and paraclinical experience in HIV infection, though the time elapsed since the first observations is relatively short, begins to get typical outlines. In the case of AIDS, the lung is the main place of opportunistic infections, other inflammatory processes and neoplasia. The present work deals with six clinical cases with positive serum tests for HIV and secondary respiratory phenomena such as: Kaposi sarcoma, pneumonia with Pneumocystis carinii, tuberculosis, candidosis, pneumonia with common germs. Particular aspects of treatment and disease evolution are commented.
