Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia and Pulmonary Thromboembolism as Primary Manifestations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Case Report and Clinical Course

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Opportunistic infections such as Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) and thromboembolic complications are frequent and well-known manifestations in patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Their simultaneous presentation as the initial HIV diagnosis in a previously healthy patient is rare and represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its potentially fatal nature.
