Pulmonary Hemorrhage

An Uncommon Cause of Pulmonary Infiltrates in Patients With AIDS

Henry Koziel MD1; Kathleen Haley MD1; Imad Nasser MD1; and Andrew E. Filderman MD, FCCP1

We describe two patients with AIDS who developed new diffuse pulmonary infiltrates during the course of their hospitalization. In both cases, the infiltrates were attributed to pulmonary hemorrhage complicating an existing condition rather than represeting a new pulmonary process. Identification of pulmonary hemorrhage in these patients allowed for discontinuation of treatment with empiric medications and continued appropriate supportive care.

Key Words: AIDS • alveolar hemorrhage • pulmonary infiltrates
