Nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis (NIP) and lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP), with or without lymphocytic alveolitis, are poorly understood pulmonary complications of HIV infection. These disorders probably represent a spectrum of lymphoproliferative processes that overlap, rather than distinct illnesses. The clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and physiologic abnormalities in NIP and LIP are not specific and therefore require a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. The clinical course of these illnesses is generally favorable, even without specific treatment.
非特异性间质性肺炎（NIP）和淋巴细胞性间质性肺炎（LIP），无论有无淋巴细胞性肺泡炎，都是人们了解较少的HIV感染肺部并发症。这些病症可能代表了一系列相互重叠的淋巴增殖过程，而非不同的疾病。NIP和LIP的临床表现、影像学表现及生理异常均不具有特异性，因此需要进行活检以明确诊断。即使不进行特殊治疗，这些疾病的临床病程通常也较好。
