 AB    A 25-year old HIV-1-positive hemophiliac was admitted with fever, cough,
       exertional dyspnea and pleuritic chest pain. Chest x-ray showed diffuse
       bilateral infiltrates with a left sided nodular consolidation.
       Pneumocystis-carinii-pneumonia was suspected and diagnosed by
       broncho-alveolar lavage. With therapy the diffuse infiltrates improved,
       but the nodule and the symptoms failed to resolve. A fine-needle
       aspiration of the nodule revealed concurrent cryptococcosis. Treatment
       with fluconazole resulted in complete resolution of symptoms. Details of
       the case are presented and clinical implications are discussed.
