Drug-induced pulmonary edema in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus.

Adverse reactions to drugs are common in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In these patients pulmonary reactions to drugs may be difficult to differentiate from opportunistic pulmonary infections. We report a HIV-infected patient who on two occasions developed acute pulmonary edema related to the administration of ibuprofen.
