T.H., a 48-year-old man, was an admitted IV drug user and occasionally abused alcohol. Over 4 weeks, he had experienced fever, night sweats, malaise, a cough, and a 10-lb. weight loss. He was also concerned about several discolored lesions that had erupted weeks before on his arms and legs. T.H. made an appointment with a physician assistant at the neighborhood clinic. On examination, the PA noted bilateral anterior cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy and pyrexia. T.H's temperature was 39°C. The PA sent T.H. to the hospital for further studies. T.H's chest radiograph showed paratracheal adenopathy and bilateral interstitial infiltrates, suspicious of tuberculosis (TB). His blood study results were positive for HIV and showed a lymphocytopenia. Sputum and BAL (washing) fluid were positive for AFB, and a PPD skin test result was also positive. Based on these findings, T.H. was diagnosed with HIV, TB, and Kaposi sarcoma related to past IV drug abuse.
