Abstract

TERROBA, Hernán et al. Diffuse infiltrative lymphocytosis syndrome with interstitial pneumonia in a patient with HIV. Rev. am. med. respir. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.1, pp.37-40. ISSN 1852-236X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.56538/ramr.saxu1380.

Diffuse infiltrative lymphocytosis syndrome occurs in association with HIV infection; it requires meeting the diagnostic criteria and ruling out other infectious and autoimmune pathologies. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman who consulted for bilateral parotid edema, sicca syndrome, cough and impregnation syndrome, which was observed in the chest tomography infiltrated in ground glass, patched and bilateral. A diagnosis of HIV positive and fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage was made without the development of pathogens. It is interpreted as lymphoid interstitial pneu monia associated with DILS. Antiretroviral therapy was started with good evolution and disappearance of symptoms and pulmonary infiltrates.

Keywords : Diffuse infiltrative lymphocytosis syndrome (DILS); Human immunodeficiency virus; Interstitial pneumonia.
