 AB    A 60-year-old heterosexual man with AIDS was admitted to hospital with
       dyspnea, a severe paroxysmal non-productive cough of two months'
       duration, low-grade fever and exhaustion. Bordetella pertussis was
       cultured from a bronchoalveolar lavage specimen. After erythromycin
       therapy (500 mg q.i.d. for two weeks) all respiratory symptoms resolved
       progressively over a four-week period. Bordetella pertussis should be
       added to the long list of pathogens that may cause respiratory disease
       in persons with HIV infection.
