Opportunistic infections are common complications of advanced immuno-deficiency in individuals with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Following involvement of the lung, the central nervous system (CNS) is the second most commonly affected organ. We report two cases of concurrent cryptococcal meningitis and tuberculosis (TB) in HIV infected persons. A high suspicion of multiple opportunistic infections should be kept in mind in HIV seropositive individuals.
机会性感染是人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者晚期免疫缺陷的常见并发症。肺部受累后,中枢神经系统(CNS)是第二个最常受影响的器官。我们报告了两例HIV感染者并发隐球菌性脑膜炎和结核病(TB)的病例。对于HIV血清阳性个体,应高度怀疑多种机会性感染。
