ABSTRACT

In the industrialized countries and, in particular, in France, given the means of prevention, early screening and treatment of HIV infection, there is almost no evidence of opportunistic infections among immigrants and in some disadvantaged socio-professional groups. We here report the case of a 42-year old African immigrant HIV1 positive man with impaired general condition hospitalized for infectious syndrome. He had received antiretroviral therapy for 2 years and stopped it four months before admission. He had had pulmonary tuberculosis treated and declared cured in February 2017. Clinical examination showed slow ideation, a temperature of 39.6°C and weight loss. The patient had nadir CD4 cell counts 12/mm3 and HIV viral load log value 5.80. Thoracoabdominal CT scan and brain MRI showed intra-abdominal and thoracic lesions as well as brain lesions before diagnostic confirmation of tuberculosis and toxoplasmosis. The patient underwent triple antiretroviral therapy on day 15 of antituberculosis treatment. Then he underwent toxoplasmosis treatment with favorable outcome.
