Abstract

Pulmonary disease associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is common and may be secondary to infectious and noninfectious processes.1 One of the noninfectious processes is lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP). LIP is an uncommon disorder that was first described by Carrington and Liebow2 in 1966, and is characterized by a diffuse peribronchial and interstitial infiltration of the lung by lymphocytes and plasma cells.3 LIP has been recognized as a common pulmonary complication in cases of pediatric AIDS and appears to be present in as many as 75% of these cases.4 The present Centers for Disease Control (CDC) classification includes LIP as a diagnostic criterion for pediatric AIDS.5
