Clin Radiol. 1998 Aug;53(8):554-66. doi: 10.1016/s0009-9260(98)80146-3.

Abstract

A review of imaging in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is presented. The imaging features can be conveniently categorized according to whether the presenting complications are infective (bacterial, protozoal, or fungal), bronchiectasis, neoplastic (Kaposi's sarcoma, AIDS-related lymphoma, or lymphoproliferative disease), or a miscellaneous group (non-specific interstitial pneumonitis, persistent generalized lymphadenopathy, or bronchogenic carcinoma).
