Non-infectious pulmonary disorders in HIV.
Non-infectious pulmonary disorders in HIV.
- 2017
INTRODUCTION: Since the advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART), non-infectious pulmonary disorders have become common comorbidities in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive population. Clinicians caring for those with HIV disease should be aware of the prevalence of non-infectious pulmonary disorders. A comprehensive understanding is required to diagnosis and manage these syndromes appropriately. Areas covered: This review focuses on the epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical feature and diagnosis, and treatment of HIV-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension. Expert Commentary: The prevalence of COPD in the HIV population is frequent and requires appropriate diagnosis and treatment. HIV-positive individuals with lung cancer carry a poorer prognosis and require early diagnosis and treatment. A complex condition exists with pulmonary hypertension in the HIV population and requires a high degree of clinical suspicion for early diagnosis.
