We have described the case of a patient with AIDS in whom a chylothorax developed, probably as a result of lymphatic obstruction from KS. This case emphasizes that the loss of proteins, fats, and lymphocytes into chylous pleural effusions can be particularly devastating in AIDS patients, who have profound nutritional problems and a marked depletion in the level of helper T-lymphocytes.
我们描述了一例艾滋病患者发生乳糜胸的病例,可能是由卡波西肉瘤导致的淋巴管阻塞所致。该病例强调,蛋白质、脂肪和淋巴细胞流失到乳糜性胸腔积液中,对于存在严重营养问题且辅助性T淋巴细胞水平显著降低的艾滋病患者而言,可能具有特别严重的破坏性。
