MARTINEZ MONTALVO, Carlos Mauricio et al. Pneumonia due to Aspergillus fumigatus and Pneumocystis jirovecii coinfection in a non-HIV- infected patient: Case report. Acta méd. Peru [online]. 2021, vol.38, n.4, pp.313-318.  Epub Feb 04, 2022. ISSN 1728-5917.  http://dx.doi.org/10.35663/amp.2021.384.2174.

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a condition that mainly occurs in immunosuppressed patients, and it has a high mortality rate. Pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii is a potentially lethal opportunistic infection affecting immunosuppressed patients with different etiology. Coinfection by Aspergillus and P. jirovecii in immunocompetent patients is unusual. We report a case of a patient with no common causes of immunosuppression who developed pneumonia coinfection caused by Aspergillus fumigatus and Pneumocystis jirovecii.
