[@ajaybikuniya5537]

I think many of goes towards tuberculosis 😅

[@kavithasooriyakumar3278]

Can occur in patients with primary immune deficiency- combined immune deficiency or infants with severe combined immune deficiency

Cotrimoxazole and pentamidine

[@rabailsaeed6319]

If CD4 count is less than 200 then PCP is the likely cause of pneumonia.
If CD4 count is between 200 to 500 then the pathogens causing pneumonia would be same for HIV patient as for the immunocompetent individuals.

@INTELLECTMEDICOS Hello sir..pg aspirant here...plz tell me how to tell if infection is of PJP or pneumococcus by seeing xray???

[@salmanmalek9553]

I think you should go with CD count by which you can easily differentiate

[@Anamika-u8m]

@@salmanmalek9553 dats not usually they give in ques!!

[@salmanmalek9553]

Might be possible that they will not give the number but surely mention about low or less or decrease cd count or at least mention about hiv history
In the other hand if they aks about streptococcus pneumonia aka pneumococcus, most probably they will mention about catalase test or meningitis history.

[@docPriyangshuSharma01]

CxR if interstitial infiltrate then PCP.
CxR. If lobar consolidation then Pneumococcus
Those who are talking about CD 4 and catalase test above doesn't matter...

[@coolpad7876]

It does matters, even a single clue matters a lot to solve a question
It isn't a KBC, it's a NEET PG docs.
