Periódico: MEDICAL MYCOLOGY CASE REPORTS

Resumo: We report a case of fungal and mycobacterial co-infection in an immunosuppressed patient from Southern Brazil. Histoplasmosis was diagnosed in an AIDS patient admitted to the hospital with nonspecific respiratory signs. However, 4 months post hospital discharge, the patient worsened and a co-infection with Mycobacterium avium was detected. Physicians must consider and investigate a broad spectrum of diseases which can occur as co-infections and which share the same clinical symptoms and signs in immunosuppressed patients.
