%X respiratory diseases are frequent complications in hiv infection. high resolution computed tomography (hrct) has proven superior to conventional imaging techniques to establish a pulmonary disease diagnosis. a study was conducted in order to establish the association between tomographic pulmonary patterns and immune status of hiv-infected patients. we evaluated 35 patients with respiratory symptoms and / or abnormal chest radiograph. an association was observed between the presence of ground glass pattern and p jirovecii infection. likewise, a correlation between pulmonary histoplasmosis diagnosis and honeycomb pattern, lung cysts and nodules was established. few correlation between tomographic patterns and cd4 + t lymphocyte counts was observed. in summary, hrct findings can predict certain types of infection; nevertheless, further studies are required to extrapolate this association to other noninfectious lung diseases in hiv-infected patients.
