ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of HIV infection and concomitant pathologies, paying special attention to those involving the respiratory tract, in the Province of Cosenza through a retrospective study of patients monitored by the Divisions of Infectious Diseases and Pneumology with the collaboration of the Virology Unit of the United Hospitals of Cosenza. The results obtained show that there is a lower incidence of AIDS and HIV-correlated respiratory pathologies in this area compared to the rest of Italy but, in spite of this, the authors highlight the need in Calabria for those centres and structures that have been planned but never completely realised (Law 135/90; DPR 7/4/94; etc.) which would enable infected subjects to be identified and the necessary measures for prevention, diagnosis and treatment to be implemented.
