Introduction 216 Tuberculosis 216 Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) 217 Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia 219 Kaposi's sarcoma 219 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can cause a number of conditions within the lung depending on the degree of immunosuppression. It is responsible for a number of problems within the lung. Many of these conditions are also seen in other immunosuppressed patients (...

Lymphocytic Interstitial Pneumonia

On HRCT scans, lung cysts are characterized by rounded areas of low attenuation in the lung parenchyma and a well-defined interface with the normal adjacent lung. The most common cystic lung diseases are lymphangioleiomyomatosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia. In a retrospective analysis of the HRCT findings in 50 patients diagnosed with chronic paracoccidioidomycosis, we found lung cysts in 5 cases (10%), indicating that patients with paracoccidioidomycosis can present with lung cysts on HRCT scans. Therefore, paracoccidioidomycosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of cystic lung diseases.
