Abstract
Nonspecific clinical features and imaging findings of COVID-19 may lead to misdiagnosis with other diseases that have specific risks and treatments. Here a patient is reported with Pneumocystis Pneumonia with an undiagnosed HIV disease who was treated for COVID-19 with no response after one week. COVID-19 was diagnosed by CT findings but PCR was negative. Further evaluation for ground glass opacities confirmed AIDS and clinical response to Pneumocystis Pneumonia treatment.
