Changing trends in the pulmonary manifestations of AIDS.
McGuinness G
This article reviews the changing trends observed in AIDS patients over
the course of the epidemic. The spectrum of diseases
of the chest associated with HIV infection is vast and varied. To generate
a useful differential diagnosis based on imaging
findings, the radiologist must appreciate shifts in disease prevalence
and epidemiology and appreciate changing radiographic
manifestations of many of these diseases. Imaging findings, both with
chest radiography and CT scan, are summarized and the
importance of integration of clinical information in interpreting these
images and generating a reasonable differential diagnosis is
emphasized.
