Acquired Tracheal Stenosis in an HIV-Positive Child Presenting with Persistent Respiratory Symptoms after Being Ventilated for Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia and Cytomegalovirus Pneumonia: Diagnosis and Management in a Severely Immunosuppressed Chi
Acquired tracheal stenosis in CLHIV is not well documented, although many young children with HIV infection have been ventilated for severe pneumonia. Bronchoscopy should be considered in children with persistent respiratory symptoms, and endoscopic procedures can be safely performed in immunosuppressed children.
