A prospective study was carried out in 60 HIV/AIDS patients with respiratory manifestations, from March to July, 1998. 23 (38.3 %) proved to be positive for micoplasmas and the clinical form clinic prevailing in these patients was the upper respiratory infection. 56.6 % of them improved and were discharged, whereas 34.7 % died. The CD4+ lymphocites count under 200 cel/ mm3 was observed in 69.6 % and the bronchopneumonic infiltrate was the most frequent radiological finding. The co-infection with other bacterias was present in 15 of the cases, with a prevalence of Pseudomona aeruginosa. The species of mycoplasma with old opposing frequency was Mycoplasma fermentans was the mycoplasma species with the highest frequency found. The patients infected with this species were severely immunodepressed, besides being colonized by other microorganisms.
