Resumen
SERNA ORTIZ, Carlos Andrés; MUNOZ ORTIZ, Édison; ARIAS RESTREPO, Luis Fernando y CATANO CORREA, Juan Carlos. Clinico-pathological conference (CPC): a previously healthy patient with respiratory insuficiency due to intersticial pneumonia. Iatreia [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.1, pp.83-94. ISSN 0121-0793.
We present the case of a 40-year-old woman, with no remarkable past medical history, who was admitted to San Vicente Foundation University Hospital, in Medellín, Colombia; she complained of respiratory symptoms lasting 20 days. Interstitial pneumonia associated with AIDS was diagnosed, which progressed to respiratory failure that did not respond to therapy directed against the opportunistic infections that were identified. She finally developed multiorgan failure that caused death.
