AB We report the case of a patient with AIDS who presented with bilateral,
massive pulmonary cystic disease and pneumothorax presumably caused by
Pneumocystis carinii which responded to treatment with cotrimoxazole.
Follow-up with sequential chest X-rays and computed tomography scans
showed a progressive improvement in the lung cysts which had resolved
almost completely 11 months later. Several theories have been proposed
to explain the cavitary lesions in this infection. The course observed
in our patient suggests that a non-destructive mechanism was responsible
for his lung cysts.
