Abstract

There is no evidence that antiretroviral therapy (ART) alone may result in complete remission of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas even though it improves the overall prognosis. We report a case in which early diffuse large B-cell lymphoma regressed completely after ART alone, raising the possibility that this may be sufficient therapy in selected cases.

Abstract

A pneumomediastinum is an unusual complication of respiratory infections in HIV-positive patients, usually reported in association with pneumocystis pneumonia. We describe a case of an HIV-positive patient with a pneumomediastinum who had cytomegalovirus pneumonitis. This is an important reminder to clinicians, since cytomegalovirus pneumonitis and pneumocystis pneumonia have a similar clinical and radiological presentation.
