Toxoplasmosis mimicking CMV chorioretinitis in newly diagnosed PLWH: a case report

CONCLUSIONS: despite progressive developments in the management of PLWH, in this case two different kind of opportunistic infection are found in a late-presenter patient. In particular, two aspects can be highlighted. The first one is that, in the setting of an highly impaired immune system, clinical presentation can be deceptive and more than one opportunistic infection can be observed together in the same patient. The second aspect is that after starting antiretroviral therapy, a rapid improvement of viro-immunologic parameters has been documented, probably leading to an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS).PMID:37701378 | PMC:PMC10495061 | DOI:10.53854/liim-3103-15
