This is a case report that describe an association of AIDS, visceral leishmaniasis and probable disseminated tuberculosis. Due to the spread of AIDS in developing areas worldwide this association would be more frequently, seen on subjects from endemic areas where this protozoonosis is prevalent. More than one opportunistic infection related with the endemic diseases of the developing regions can be associated with those immunocompromised patients.

Mucormycosis is an uncommon opportunistic infection and the gastrointestinal form is the rarest.Rhizopus sp. is the most frequent pathogen and infection occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients. We describe the first case of intestinal mucormycosis occurring after aStreptococcus pyogenestoxic shock syndrome in a previously healthy patient caused byRhizopus microsporusvar.azygosporus.

Immunodeficiency Syndrome

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common viral opportunistic infection in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), affecting up to 90% of patients. CMV can manifest as primary, latent or chronic persistent infection, most commonly appearing as retinitis, encephalitis or gastrointestinal disease. Other less common presentations, including otolaryngologic expression of the virus, have also been noted. Described here is the first known documented case of CMV with both chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis in an AIDS patient.

ABSTRACT Candidiasis is the most common oral opportunistic infection affecting people with acquired immunodeficiency. Here, in this case report, we are presenting a case of an HIV positive patient with chronic pseudomembranous candidiasis on tongue along with a kissing lesion on the palate. This case report emphasizes that the aforementioned finding can serve as a good clinical marker for prediction and early detection of HIV infection.

Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease in form of visceral (VL), cutaneous (CL), and mucocutaneous (MCL) leishmaniasis. Immunocompromised patients have increased risk ofLeishmaniainfection, especially in endemic areas for visceral leishmaniasis, where in the world HIV/VL coinfection has become endemic. The case here suffers from both AIDS and visceral-cutaneous leishmaniasis. We report an Iranian woman with disseminated cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis who became positive for HIV test.

AbstractBrucellosis is a frequent zoonosis in some regions of the world and may cause various symptoms. Neurobrucellosis is a rare but serious complication of the infection. Our case report describes the course of neurobrucellosis in a patient who had received a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in his native country 13 years prior to diagnosis of brucellosis. He initially presented to us with symptoms of peritonitis, which misled us to perform abdominal surgery first. After the diagnosis of neurobrucellosis was confirmed and appropriate antibiotics were initiated, the symptoms soon disappeared. Although the ventriculoperitoneal shunt was subsequently removed, the patient did not develop a symptomatic hydrocephalus further on. This case displays the challenges in diagnosing an infection that occurred sporadically in Europe and may be missed by currently applied routine microbiological workup. Considering the political context, with increasing relocation from endemic areas to European countries, it is to be expected that the cases of brucellosis and neurobrucellosis will rise. Brucellosis should be considered and adequate investigations should be performed.
