Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is posing an unprecedented threat worldwide. One issue that has faltered, though, concerns the underestimated risk to trade all for COVID-19, misdiagnosing other potentially life-threatening diseases. Further still, the presence of respiratory symptoms in AIDS patients should stimulate more vigilant efforts to uncover other or additional infections. This case report highlights the pitfalls of diagnosing a rare pulmonary infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.
