The OBJECTIVE was to study the predisposing factors, pathogenic flora and clinical forms of lungs and pleura suppurative diseases in HIV-infected patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS . The article describes the etiology and clinical forms of lungs and pleura suppurative diseases in 237 HIV-infected patients. Features of damage to the lungs and pleura in these patients were determined. RESULTS . 46 % had empyema with bronchopleural fistula. At endoscopic examination, purulent and purulent-hemorrhagic tracheobronchitis were diagnosed in 27 %. CONCLUSION . Sputum culture or pleural exudate or the contents of a lung abscess cavity were used to determine the etiology of lungs and pleura suppuration in HIV infection. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa played an important role in the development of the disease.
