Article Abstract

pneumonia (PCP) is one of the most common opportunistic infections in HIV-infected patients. However, coinfection with is infrequent in AIDS patients with PCP. We report a 28-year-old male AIDS patient coinfected with and diagnosed in the bronchoalveolar lavage. After sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and meropenem treatment, the patient showed clinical improvement in 2 weeks. Clinicians need to be alert to the occurrence of infection in AIDS patients with PCP and timely diagnosis and antibacterial treatments are essential. This case may help clinicians for timely diagnosis of the coinfection of and in AIDS patients.
