Abstract

In a case-control study, outcomes for 58 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive patients with communityacquired pneumonia (CAP) were compared with outcomes for 174 HIV-negative patients with CAP. No differences were found in the time to clinical stability, the length of hospitalization, and mortality. Clinical outcomes for hospitalized patients with CAP may not be influenced by HIV infection.
