Nirav Shah1, Leah Owen, Sanjay Bhagani.   

Abstract

The authors report the case of a new diagnosis of advanced HIV-1 infection with a blood CD4 cell count of 0.003×10(9)/L (2%), presenting with weight loss, night sweats, diarrhoea and anorexia. Symptoms were due to disseminated histoplasmosis (confirmed pulmonary and colonic disease), Pneumocystis pneumonia and oral candidiasis highlighting the limitations of 'Occam's razor' with advanced HIV infection.
