Chronic Lung Disease in Patients With Perinatally Acquired HIV in England: A Retrospective Case-Note Review.
2020
Chronic lung disease (CLD) is common in individuals living with perinatally acquired HIV (PA-HIV) in southern/eastern Africa. Most of the UK PA-HIV population are African. We conducted a case-note review of CLD in 3 UK PA-HIV cohorts (n = 98). Bronchiectasis or obliterative bronchiolitis occurred in 8.1% of patients and ring/tramline opacities occurred in 19.2% of patients on chest X-ray. There may be unrecognized and underdiagnosed CLD among PA-HIV in the UK.
