| Abstrakt: |
Infection with multiple pathogens concurrently has become less common since the introduction of potent antiretroviral agent and effective prophylactic agents. We describe a patient with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) admitted with pneumonia who was found to have AIDS and diagnosed with Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, human herpesvirus type 1 (HHV-1), and a concomitant cytomegalovirus viremia. Polymerase chain reaction viral load was used for diagnosis of HHV-1 and follow-up. The patient was treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ganciclovir and had a resolution of pneumonia. Since patients with PAP who are diagnosed as having AIDS could be concomitantly infected with multiple pathogens, rapid accurate diagnosis and treatment may have a positive effect on outcome.
