Abstract

Opportunistic infections are common in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. Co-infections with Cryptococcus neoformans and Mycobacterium species together with Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) are rare and typically occur in immunocompromised individuals, particularly acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients.

Keywords: Cryptococcosis; Mycobacterium; Pneumocystis pneumonia; human immunodeficiency virus.
