Pneumonia caused by respiratory syncytial virus in an AIDS patient is reported. A co-infection with cytomegalovirus was also demonstrated. Treatment with ribavirin and foscarnet produced good clinical response. The patient, known to have serious obstructive lung disease, suffered from bronchial hyperreactivity for some time afterwards. The dilemma of antiviral therapy is discussed.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
