Description: This book is designed to cover a broad outline of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation and treatment of infection with HIV-1 with special reference to the lung. It is not intended primarily for the expert working in an AIDS referral centre although we hope that some of the reports, especially concerning the less common manifestations of HIV infection, may be of interest. Rather, this book will be of practical value to the physician who sees a few patients sporadically and requires the necessary background knowledge for the identification and management of the respiratory disorders associated with HIV infection.
