Miliary <i>Pneumocystis jiroveci</i> pneumonia in a patient living with HIV

<i>Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia</i> (PJP) is one of the leading opportunistic infections seen in people living with HIV. Bilateral infiltrations characterize PJP and miliary involvement is very rare. In this article, we report a 32-year-old person living with HIV who was followed up with a diagnosis of miliary PJP. Our patient was admitted to the hospital with complaints of cough, sputum, and weight loss. Initially, miliary tuberculosis was considered due to the presence of miliary involvement on chest radiography, but the diagnosis was made with <i>P. jirovecii</i> PCR positivity. This article aims to report a case of miliary PJP, a rare clinical form of PJP.

Abstract

<i>Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia</i> (PJP) is one of the leading opportunistic infections seen in people living with HIV. Bilateral infiltrations characterize PJP and miliary involvement is very rare. In this article, we report a 32-year-old person living with HIV who was followed up with a diagnosis of miliary PJP. Our patient was admitted to the hospital with complaints of cough, sputum, and weight loss. Initially, miliary tuberculosis was considered due to the presence of miliary involvement on chest radiography, but the diagnosis was made with <i>P. jirovecii</i> PCR positivity. This article aims to report a case of miliary PJP, a rare clinical form of PJP.
