Objective: To describe cases of patients diagnosed with lung infection with HIV-AIDS hospitalized at Hospital Universitario Departamental of Nariño (HUDN) in the period january 2006 to december 2008. Design: Clinical retrospective case series analysis performed in patients hospitalized at the internal medicine service between 1 of january 2006 and 31 of december 2008 in the HUDN. Methodology: We reviewed medical records of 114 patients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS associated with another infection, and we applied inclusion and exclusion criteria. A final population of 39 HIV infected patients were diagnosed with lung infection. A data collection instrument which contained sociodemographic, clinical diagnosis and treatment were used for further analysis. The diseases were classified according to International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Results: Pulmonary infections were present in 39 patients, 26 were men and 13 women. Pneumonia was present in 35,7%, accompanied by tuberculosis at 25,5%. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most representative (28,2%), followed Branhamella catarrhalis (10,3%), Candida albicans was found in one case. Cough with 64.1%, dyspnea with rales 51,3% and 46,2% were the most common signs and symptoms. Conclusions: Bacterial lung infections are more common in patients with HIV/AIDS, being the most representative Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients hospitalized in the internal medicine department HUDN.
