Bacterial Pneumonia among HIV-Infected Patients: Decreased Risk After Tobacco Smoking Cessation. ANRS CO3 Aquitaine Cohort, 2000–2007

Abstract: BackgroundBacterial pneumonia is still a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected patients in the era of combination Antiretroviral Therapy. The benefit of tobacco withdrawal on the risk of bacterial pneumonia has not been quantified in such populations, exposed to other important risk factors such as HIV-related immunodeficiency. Our objective was to estimate the effect of tobacco smoking withdrawal on the risk of bacterial pneumonia among HIV-infected individuals.Methodology/Principal Fin… Show more

“…Benard et al 29 reported that PLWHA who had at least 1 year of abstinence from smoking experienced substantial reductions in the rates of bacterial pneumonia compared with individuals who continued to smoke. Furthermore, although rates of bacterial pneumonia were higher among individuals who had greater HIV-related immunodeficiency (as measured by HIV RNA and CD4 count), there was no interaction between immunodeficiency and smoking status on incidence of infection.…”
