A Case of Suspected COVID-19 Identified with AIDS, PCP and Tuberculosis
Öz: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that
causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome),
while PCP (Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia), tuberculosis,
CMV (Cytomegalovirus) and candidiasis are
the OIs (opportunistic infections) occurring due to
immune deficiency. OIs, and bacterial pneumonias in
particular, are the most common causes of mortality,
which makes the screening and prophylactic therapy
for OIs necessary. The synergy between tuberculosis
and HIV has long been known, and worsens the
prognosis. PCP is an OI that is caused by a fungus
named P. jiroveci. COVID-19 has emerged as a new
cause of death among AIDS patients. Screening and
prophylactic therapy for Ols is vital for patients with
AIDS, however, mortality may be high due to delays
in screening and prophylaxis in those whose HIV
positivity is detected coincidentally. We report here on
a patient who applied to our hospital with suspected
COVID-19 pneumonia who was found during followup
to be HIV positive with PCP and pulmonary tuberculosis.

Öz: HIV (İnsan İmmün Yetmezlik Virüsü) immün sistemi
zayıflatan, AIDS (Kazanılmış Bağışıklık Yetersizliği
Sendromu) hastalığına yol açan viral bir enfeksiyondur.
İmmün sistemin zayıflaması ile birlikte, tüberküloz,
PCP (Pneumocystis jiroveci pnömonisi), CMV
(sitomegalovirüs), kandida gibi fırsatçı enfeksiyonlara
olanak sağlamaktadır. En yüksek mortaliteyi oluşturan
durumlar fırsatçı enfeksiyonlardır. Bu durum AIDS
hastalarında fırsatçı enfeksiyonlara yönelik tarama ve
profilaksi uygulanmasını gerekli kılmıştır. Tüberküloz
ile HIV birlikteliği uzun zamandır bilinmekte ve prognozu
kötüleştirmektedirler. PCP ise günümüzde mantar
olarak kabul edilen P. jirovecii etkenli fırsatçı bir
pnömonidir. Covid -19 pandemisi ile birlikte de AIDS
hastalarında yeni bir mortalite sebebi ortaya çıkmıştır.
AIDS hastalarının bu fırsatçı enfeksiyonlara karşı
taranması, profilaktik tedavi alması ve erkenden
tedavi almaları hayati önem taşımaktadır. Ancak HIV
pozitifliği rastlantısal olarak saptanan kişilerde tarama
ve profilaksi gecikmesinden ötürü mortalite yüksek
seyredebilmektedir. Bu yazıda Covid-19 pnömonisi
şüphesi ile hastanemize başvuran bir hastanın HIV
pozitif tespit edilip PCP ve takibinde akciğer tüberkülozu
saptanması anlatılmaktadır.
