AB A necroscopic study, conducted in the Pathology Department of the Centre
Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) de Treichville in Abidjan, included 70
seropositive subjects who died in the Pneumophtisiology Department. We
attempted to determine the different pulmonary affections occurring
during infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This study
demonstrated the predominant role of tuberculosis (44%) and bacterial
pneumonia (30%) which remain the predominant aetiologies. Other
opportunistic affections were rare including: Pneumocystises,
Mycobacteriaceae, and Cytomegalovirus infection and the Kaposi sarcoma.
The absence of pulmonary cryptococcosis and non-Hodgkin lymphoma were
also noted. Necroscopic examinations do not necessarily provide evidence
of the in vivo pathologies, the autopsy being able to identify only the
causal diseases or those present at death.
