Abstract
We report a case of severe primary pulmonary hypertension occurring in an HIV+ patient in whom lung biopsy and post-mortem examination were consistent with thrombotic pulmonary arteriopathy. To the best of our knowledge, this histological pattern has not been previously reported in HIV+ patients with primary pulmonary hypertension.
