Opportunistic infections and tumors in immunocompromised children

Radiol Clin North Am. 1992 May;30(3):639-58.

Abstract

HIV infection is responsible for a major proportion of the immunodeficiency disease seen in the pediatric population. The radiologic findings are varied and generally non-specific. The development of secondary neoplasms may present new diagnostic and therapeutic challenges as therapy for superimposed infections becomes more successful.
