abstract:
Our results suggest a role for HIV infection itself and for
current cigarette smoking in the development of respiratory
symptoms and COPD in HIV-infected patients.
HAART did not seem to reduce the risk of respiratory
symptoms and COPD, in our cases. Thus, our results
suggest that HIV-infected patients should be screened for
chronic respiratory disease in order to early identify those
at risk or those who need specific treatment.
