Abstract

The group of causative agents of some infections that associate with comprehensive stage of HIV-infection is strictly distinguished. It is called HIV-associated diseases that must be considered as opportunistic. Pneumocystic pneumonia dominates in clinical presentation of about half of patients, the others have candidal injuries, cytomegaloviral pneumonia, chlamidia trachomatic pneumonia and so on.  

An aim of this research is to detect clinic and radiographic peculiarities of changes in lungs at pneumocystosis in patients with AIDS.

Materials and methods. Radiographs dates in frontal and additional projections of thorax in 42 patients 18- 56 years old were studied.

Results. An analysis of dates allowed group the detected changes into radiographic symptom complexes.

Conclusion. 1) Radiography of thorax stays is the main objective method of diagnostics of changes in lungs in patients with AIDS; 2) peculiarities of radiographic manifestations of the modern course of pneumocystic pneumonia from an initial changes of lung pattern to an apparent picture are ascertained, the complications and dynamics of treatment are given
