While the incidence of opportunistic infections has decreased with antiretroviral therapy (ART), it remains a problem in patients who are unaware of being infected with HIV or who fail ART or refuse treatment. High fungal burden, advanced age, low CD4+ cell count, and being underweight are risk factors for mortality in HIV-positive patients. Our case was a cachectic patient with a CD4 count of 7 cells/mm3 . Despite the early and effective treatment, the course was fatal.
