Abstract
In patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJP) pneumonia, the prevalence of emphysematous lesions seen on imaging ranges from 10% to 34%. Their presence is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this report is to present a clinical case of an HIV-positive patient with PJP pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which progressed to bullae.
