Case of thrush and weakness after pregnancy

Abstract

AIDS continues to be one of the infectious pandemics of our time. Pneumocystis pneumonia or today 
known as Pneumocystis Jeroveci is considered a deleterious infection in AIDS (acquired 
immunodeficiency syndrome) patients. Here we present a patient with oral candidiasis, respiratory 
distress suspicious of PCP (Pneumocystisis carinii pneumonia), without any known risk factors for 
acquiring HIV who responded to PCP treatment. Since PCP is a dangerous disease, medical treatment 
in suspicious cases and diagnostic intervention for this AIDS defining illness continues to be prudent.
