La incidencia de neumotorax en pacientes con síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA) y neumonía por Pneumocystis carinii ha experimentado un incremento que se ha visto favorecido por la profilaxis con pentamidina inhalada. Se describe el caso de un paciente que desarrolló un neumotorax bilateral y que requirió para su resolución de tratamiento quirúrgico. Se detallan los hallazgos anatomopatológicos y se discuten las alternativas terapéuticas.

The incidence of pneumothorax in patients with acquired immunodeficincy syndrome (AIDS) and pneumonia by Pneumocystis carinii has experienced an increment which has been favoured by prophylactic treatment with inhaled pentamidine. We describe the case of a patient who developed bilateral pneumothorax and required surgical treatment. We detail the anatomopathologic findings and discuss the therapeutic alternatives.
