AB Nodular pulmonary infiltrates are a difficult diagnostic problem in HIV
infection. Various modalities of investigation are available to the
clinician including bronchoscopy, CT guided and open lung biopsy as well
as nuclear medicine studies. Infrequently, no diagnosis may be made. A
37 year old man with multiple AIDS defining illnesses was admitted to
Fairfield Hospital with pulmonary nodules, fever and dyspnoea. Despite
extensive investigation and empirical antibacterial and antifungal
therapy, the patient died 2 months following presentation. Diagnosis was
made at autopsy. The findings at autopsy as well as the causes of
pulmonary opacities in HIV will be discussed. A review of the diagnostic
yield of bronchoscopy and biopsy in this clinical situation at Fairfield
Hospital will be presented.
