Bartonella quintana coinfection with Mycobacterium avium complex and CMV in an AIDS patient: case presentation

BACKGROUND: As a greater number of HIV-infected patients survive despite profound immunodepression due to medical progress, we face complex infection with multiple agents in AIDS-patients. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of an AIDS patient with a primary clinical presentation suggestive of bac...

description BACKGROUND: As a greater number of HIV-infected patients survive despite profound immunodepression due to medical progress, we face complex infection with multiple agents in AIDS-patients. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of an AIDS patient with a primary clinical presentation suggestive of bacillary angiomatosis. We also found in cutaneous lesions Mycobacterium avium complex and cytomegalovirus. CONCLUSION: This clinical case illustrates the possibility of multiple coinfections in AIDS patients and the need to be exhaustive in evaluating infectious diseases in severely immunocompromised patients.
