An increasingly large number of individuals will consequently face a double burden of disease. The incidence of COPD is relatively high in the HIV-infected population [2], and HIV has been shown to be an independent risk factor [3, 4].Well preserved spirometry but evidence of small-airway dysfunction in never-smoking HIV-infected individuals http://ow.ly/oZCC308iUpoWe thank all the study subjects for their participation.Contributors: A. Ronit and I.H.
