[Pulmonary tuberculosis with normal chest radiography and infection by human immunodeficiency virus].

We report 16 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis with normal chest x-ray film associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These patients belong to a sample of 125 cases of tuberculosis and HIV infection observed during the same study period. The clinical features and the diagnostic methods are described. The unusual character of the finding and its relevance are discussed, as the presentation of pulmonary tuberculosis with normal chest x-ray film was relatively common in patients with HIV infection (12.8%) in our series. This possibility should be considered in the whole population of patients with HIV infection.

[Candida esophagitis treated with a single dose of fluconazole in patients with HIV: presentation of 11 cases].

We have reviewed the efficacy of the use of fluconazole in patients with definitely proven Candida esophagitis (CE) associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, using a single 400 mg oral dose of fluconazole and evaluating the patient three days afterwards. This drug showed to be effective for the clinical and endoscopic cure in all patients (100%), and with microbiological cure in ten cases. There was no clinical feature of toxicity. The only side effect was an increased alkaline phosphatase and transaminase activity without hyperbilirubinemia, but this finding was not statistically significant (p greater than 0.05). Fluconazole, given in a single 400 mg dose, was absolutely effective to cure esophagitis in AIDS, thus permitting to avoid parenteral amphotericin.

[Respiratory distress in an addict on parenteral drugs with tricuspid endocarditis due to Staphylococcus aureus and with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia].

A case of a female, intravenous (I.V.) drug user with respiratory distress syndrome as first manifestation 24 hours after admission, is presented. The clinical suspicion of tricuspid valve endocarditis associated to Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia arose because this patient was a member of a high-risk AIDS group. An empiric treatment was applied and the diagnosis was made posterior to this. We comment on the unusual coincidence of both pathologic states, highlighting the early diagnosis and treatment.
