Abstract

Opportunistic infections (OIs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The most common opportunistic infection is tuberculosis, followed by candidiasis, infections causing diarrhoea, and pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). We hereby report the case of a 34-year-old male with clinical stage-IV acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who had multiple OIs including visceral leishmaniasis (VLs) an uncommon co-infection in the Indian scenario. This patient also had features of multiple pulmonary infections-bacterial, mycobacterial and fungal, a rare clinical problem in HIV
