Abstract
Immunodeficiency develops when one or more natural defence mechanisms of the human body are compromised [1–3]; the immunocompromised host is at a greater risk to acquire infections. Pulmonary complications are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the immunocompromised host. In these patients, the lung is the organ most frequently involved by pathologic manifestations (70%), most of which are infectious (70–90%) and burdened with a high mortality [4].
