To determine:
To define based on the symptoms, what diagnosis is made to cure the infection. In this case, what laboratory tests confirm a diagnosis, how the man acquires this infection, what changes in the man’s immune system allow this opportunistic infection to originate.
Case summary:
In the given summary, a 25 years old homosexual man is admitted to the hospital having oral candidiasis. He has the symptoms of diarrhea, unexplained weight loss, pneumonia, and herpes lesions. The cultures of pulmonary fluid show the presence of Pneumocystis jirovecii. The man is admitted to the hospital because he had the habit of frequently paying for sex.
