Abstract

The differential diagnoses in patients with advanced HIV/AIDS presenting with fever and systemic illness is wide and warrants both infectious and non-infectious considerations. The need to make an early and accurate diagnosis is important to effect correct therapy and thus improve outcome. We describe a patient with several co-morbidities and an unusual disseminated fungal infection.
