Abstract:
Opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients can present a diagnostic challenge. This case report describes multiple pulmonary infections-Pneumocystic jirovecii, Histoplasma capsulatum, and cytomegalovirus-in an HIV-positive patient. The morphological findings are described, and the importance of cytology for the rapid diagnosis of these infections is highlighted.
