Abstract

Immune response to a pandemic influenza A 2009 (H1N1) virus infection can influence the way a second unrelated pathogen is handled by the host. We report here a case of pandemic flu with marked CD4 T-cell lymphopenia complicated by a possible Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in an HIV-infected patient.
