A Case of a patient with AIDS and pneumocystis pneumonia complicated by cytomegalovirus pneumonitis
We report a case of a 39-year-old male admitted for respiratory failure. On admission, the patient was diagnosed with advanced HIV infection and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). The patient's condition improved following specific PJP therapy but then deteriorated. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with cytomegalovirus pneumonitis and treated with ganciclovir. The severe course of both opportunistic infections required long-term care at an intensive care unit. Despite complications, the patient was discharged after 108 inpatient days in a stable clinical condition. The case demonstrates a rare coincidence of PJP and cytomegalovirus pneumonitis while also emphasizing the importance of correct diagnosis, treatment and interdisciplinary care which, despite poor prognosis, may lead to successful cure of serious simultaneous opportunistic infections in AIDS.
