AB Pulmonary involvement is a frequent feature of patients infected with
the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
(PCP) is still the commonest AIDS defining diagnosis despite the advent
of effective prophylaxis and antiretroviral treatment. Other pulmonary
manifestations of AIDS, including tuberculosis, may pose a greater
problem in the future. The clinical manifestations of HIV-disease are
many and varied, and changing as the disease is modified by therapeutic
interventions. With specific and increasingly effective treatments the
need for definitive diagnosis is obvious. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy is a
well established tool for the diagnosis of HIV-related pulmonary
complications. This article aims to give an account on the use of
bronchoscopy in a unit providing care for many HIV seropositive
patients.
