AB The epidemiologic shift in HIV-infected populations from homosexual men
to intravenous drug users and their sexual partners, together with the
wide application of antipneumocystis prophylaxis and a better
understanding of the broad range of HIV-associated illnesses, has
changed our concept of the spectrum of lung infections that occur in
patients with HIV infection. Bacterial pneumonia, not PCP, is the most
common lower respiratory infection. Newer therapies of mild-to-moderate
PCP increase the treatment options. The worldwide increase in
tuberculosis cases is attributable to coinfection with HIV, and
multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is now a serious threat, especially in
the inner cities. Fungal pneumonias occur with increased frequency in
patients with HIV infection, depending on the geographic factors and the
severity of immunodeficiency.
