Abstract

Pulmonary diseases are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality in HIV patients.
Here, we present the fatal case of a 30 year-old AIDS patient, who did not undergo antiretroviral treatment, presenting pulmonary coinfection by Pneumocystis jiroveci, Cryptococcus neoformans and Cytomegalovirus diagnosed in the postmortem histological examination.
Concurrent pulmonary infection by these three agents is not common and, to date, apparently had not been reported in the literature.
