Se presenta el caso de un joven drogadicto VIH-positivo, que se había inyectado por vía endovenosa, durante un período de unos 10 años, diversos fármacos de uso oral diluidos. Durante su ingreso en nuestro hospital, motivado por un cuadro agudo de fiebre, hemoptisis e infiltrado pulmonar, una biopsia transbronquial demostró la existencia de una granulomatosis pulmonar por talco y celulosa. Se discuten los aspectos clínicos, radiológicos y funcionales de la granulomatosis pulmonar por cuerpos extraños inyectados endovenosamente, y se revisa la literatura sobre el tema.
The case of a young HIV positive drug addict who had intravenously injected different diluted oral use drugs over a period of 10 years is presented. Upon admission to hospital due to an acute picture of fever, hemoptisis and pulmonary infiltrate, a transbronchial biopsy demonstrated the existence of pulmonary granulomatosis by talcum and cellulose. The clinical, radiological and functional aspects of pulmonary granulomatosis by intravenously injected foreing bodies are discussed and review of the literature concerning the same is made.
