Abstract
We report on a case with an unusual combination of pulmonary pathogens including Pneumocystis carinii, Rhodococcus equi and Toxoplasma gondi i in an HIV infected patient. The multiple microbiological procedures required to ascertain the etiological diagnoses of pneumonitis in HIV- seropositive subjects are discussed.
