Bronchioloalveolar Adenoma Associated With Bronchiolitis Obliterans and Leishmaniasis With Lung Involvement in Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

HIV/AIDS-associated visceral leishmaniasis in patients from an endemic area in Central-west Brazil

“…Enlargement of the liver and especially the spleen seems to be less frequent in VL-HIV/AIDS patients than in VL patients without AIDS (Pintado et al 2001) and this enlargement may be associated with a deficient proliferative response of mononuclear cells in these organs (Peters et al 1990). Atypical manifestations at unusual anatomic sites such as skin, gastrointestinal tract or lungs (Orsini et al 2002, Herrejón et al 2005 were not observed in this study.…”

Visceral Leishmaniasis with Endobronchial Involvement in an Immunocompetent Adult

“…Leishmania was first described to affect the lungs of a patient with AIDS in 1991 [16]. Subsequently, it has been described as a cause of pulmonary infiltrates [17], a solitary pulmonary nodule [18], diffuse pulmonary and pleural disease [19, 20], lung masses [21], and bronchioloalveolar adenoma [22]. …”

Fever of Unknown Origin Due to Zoonoses

“…Patients may present with acute abdominal pain and aplastic anemia. Many organs may be infected with amastigotes (lung, pleura, pericardium, larynx, oral mucosa, bone marrow, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and skin) [8,[21][22][23]. Bronchoalveolar adenoma and bronchiolitis obliterans have been reported [22].…”

Bronchoalveolar adenoma and bronchiolitis obliterans have been reported [22]. Some HIV-infected patients may be asymptomatic, whereas others infected with Leishmania braziliensis (the common cause of cutaneous disease) may disseminate [8,24].…”
