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.107-111. ISSN 1852-236X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.56538/ramr.nvkd9714.

Diffuse infiltrative lymphocytosis syndrome (DILS) occurs in association with HIV infec tion; it requires that diagnostic criteria are met and other infectious and autoimmune diseases are discarded. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman who consulted for bilateral parotid swelling, sicca syndrome, cough and impregnation syndrome; chest tomography showed patchy bilateral ground glass infiltrate. The patient was diagnosed with HIV, and fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed, without pathogen growth. It is interpreted as lymphoid interstitial pneumonia associated with DILS. Antiretroviral therapy was started, with good evolution and disappearance of symptoms and pulmonary infiltrates.

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