Los autores describen un paciente infectado por VIH que presenta concomitantemente hipertensión arterial pulmonar primaria y osteoartropatía hipertrófica. Examinan los pocos casos reportados en la literatura con estas asociaciones e hipotetizan sobre la posibilidad que factores de crecimiento humoral producidos por la infección puedan ser la causa de los síntomas. Comentan la ausencia de valor clínico de los anticuerpos anticardiolipina, también encontrados en el paciente y recomiendan ante un enfermo disneico infectado por VIH con radiografía de tórax normal, descartar la posibilidad de hipertensión arterial pulmonar.

The autors describe a patient infected with HIV and who suffer from primary pulmonary arterial hypertension and a hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. They examine the few cases reported in the literature of such associations and hypothetize on the possibility that humoral growth factors produced by the infection may be the cause of symptoms. They comment on the lack of clinical value of the anticardiolipine antibodies also found in the patient and recommend that a dyspneic patient infected with HIV and showing normal chest X-ray, shouid be examined checking for pulmonary arterial hypertension.
