Seven patients of Haitian and Central African origin were investigated for interstitial pneumonitis and unexplained chronic lymphadenopathy. A study of broncho-alveolar lavage fluid showed no opportunistic micro-organisms and disclosed a high alveolar lymphocyte count with more than 80% T8+ cells. In 3 patients, open lung biopsy showed lymphoid interstitial pneumonitis. Follicular hyperplasia was a constant finding in lymph nodes. Benign lymphocytic infiltration was found in other organs of all patients, associated with polyclonal hyperimmunoglobulinaemia, low peripheral T4+ cell count and LAV-Ig G antibodies.
