Abstract
Spontaneous pneumothorax is occurring in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Pneumocystis carinii infection with increasing frequency. These patients are typically poor surgical candidates. Conservative management using tetracycline sclerosis was performed with good results in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and recurrent pneumothorax.
