摘要

We present a 39-year-old female with HIV, medication non-compliance, and recurrences of bacterial pneumonia. She presented with a two-day bout of worsening shortness of breath, dyspnea and productive cough. A CT of the chest was notable for multi-lobular pneumonia. She underwent flexible bronchoscopy and biopsy which revealed lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis. Conclusion: Recurrent bacterial pneumonia is a rare complication of lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) in HIV positive patients, and should be considered in the differential as a possible precipitator of recurrent pneumonia inan HIV positive patient.
