P.J. Peters (Part 1) IF Host Defence and Neoplasia
Activity
Tutorial
As you head off to lunch after wrapping up your morning clinic, you peruse your afternoon schedule and note that the first patient is someone you have not seen in three years. You therefore grab his chart to review his history. P.J. Peters is a 34-year-old male who immigrated from Uganda 10 years ago. Four years ago, he presented with a dry cough and mild shortness of breath. Given that you had noted a few crackles in his lower lungs bilaterally, you had prescribed him antibiotics for pneumonia. In spite, of therapy his symptoms progressed over a 2-3 week period and he landed in the emergency. A chest x-ray at the time revealed a bilateral interstitial infiltrate. Due to progressive hypoxia he underwent a bronchoalveolar lavage which revealed he had pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP or PCP). This raised the suspicion of underlying HIV and his serology was sent off and came back positive. On further questioning, he admitted to a 2 year period in his life in his early 20s where he had unprotected sex with multiple partners.
