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.
Key words: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Pneumocystisis carinii pneumonia (PCP), HIV.
