Abstract
In summary, several points should be emphasized: 1. Adenoidal hypertrophy in a person who previously underwent adenoidectomy should lead to the suspicion of HIV infection. 2. P. carinii should be included in the differential diagnosis of adenoidal enlargement in HIV infections. 3. Extrapulmonary calcification should lead to the suspicion of P. carinii infection.
