Abstract

Background and objective: Respiratory infections are among the most common presentation of HIV infection. Respiratory infections in these patients differ in various region of the world. Material and methods: In a period of JAN 2002 to JAN 2005 all patients with documented HIV infection who were admitted to a referral center for pulmonary disease in IRAN were included. Sputum was examined for B.K, bacteria and fungi. In some cases BAL was taken for PCP, BK, fungi and cytology. Pleural fluid (if present) was tapped and sent for mycobacteriology and bacteriology. Data were collected prospectively and analyzed by SPSS. Results: 55 patients were included. Mean age was 37.3.92.7 were male. Route of transmission was IVDU, heterosexual and homosexual in 67.3%, 9.1% and 1.8% respectively. In 20% of cases both IVDU and heterosexual was possible route of transmission. The most common respiratory infection was TB (85.5%) followed by pneumonia (9.1%) and PCP (5.5%). TB was pulmonary in 70.2% of cases and extra pulmonary in 12.8%.In 17% of patients PTB and EPTB were present simultaneously.5% of TB cases were MDR. Other opportunistic infections were oral candidiasis (70%) toxoplasma encephalitis (9.1) cmv retinitis (5.5%), cmv pneumonitis (1.8%) and cryptococal meningitis(1.8%). In 81.8% of patients HIV was diagnosed for first time in hospital. In hospital mortality rate was 18.2.In 27.3%of patients HAART was started. Conclusion: TB is the most common lower respiratory tract infection among HIV patients in IRAN and for the most of them it is the first manifestation of their illness. PCP is uncommon in IRAN.
