Human immunodeficiency virus disease associated with lymphoid interstitial pneumonitis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1280360496

This is a lentivirus (slowly replicating retrovirus) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. This is a disease resulting in a syndrome secondary to autoimmune and other lymphoproliferative disorders.
