Abstract
The radiographic findings in 39 patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome were reviewed. Of 39 patients, 25 had infections and 14 had Kaposi sarcoma and opportunistic infections. A prodromal phase, seen in many patients and associated with lymphoid hyperplasia, lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly, is described. Recognition of the problem is important in alerting the patient to the early detection of infections and/or Kaposi sarcoma.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
