Bronchiectasis as a cause of unexplained breathlessness in HIV infected patient

Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been associated with a wide spectrum of pulmonary disease. Here we report a case of 32 year old, HIV seropositive male having cough and progressive breathlessness for one year. Progressive breathlessness was diagnosed to be due to unusually rapid airway obstruction associated with bronchiectasis in this patient.
