 AB    The epidemiologic shift in HIV-infected populations from homosexual men
       to intravenous drug users and their sexual partners, together with the
       wide application of antipneumocystis prophylaxis and a better
       understanding of the broad range of HIV-associated illnesses, has
       changed our concept of the spectrum of lung infections that occur in
       patients with HIV infection. Bacterial pneumonia, not PCP, is the most
       common lower respiratory infection. Newer therapies of mild-to-moderate
       PCP increase the treatment options. The worldwide increase in
       tuberculosis cases is attributable to coinfection with HIV, and
       multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is now a serious threat, especially in
       the inner cities. Fungal pneumonias occur with increased frequency in
       patients with HIV infection, depending on the geographic factors and the
       severity of immunodeficiency.
