    • Abstract:
      A 34-year-old man presented to a community hospital with fever and fatigue for 3 days and was found to be febrile and tachycardic with a cavitary pulmonary lesion and paratracheal adenopathy on CT imaging. One month before, he had presented to his primary care provider with a palmar rash; he had been diagnosed and treated for syphilis and was also diagnosed with HIV. He had a CD4 count of 106 cells/μL and an HIV viral load of 1,290,000 copies/mL. Pneumocystis prophylaxis with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and antiretroviral treatment with only tenofovir and emtricitabine therapy were started 2 weeks before presentation.
