CT manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related pulmonary infections

Semin Ultrasound CT MR. 1998 Apr;19(2):167-74. doi: 10.1016/s0887-2171(98)90058-0.

Abstract

The infectious pulmonary complications of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are reviewed, with emphasis on the spectrum of CT imaging findings and diagnostic accuracy and limitations as reported in the current literature. Changes in epidemiologic trends for common AIDS-related infections and the associated ranges of CD4 lymphocyte counts, when these infections are typically encountered, are discussed.
