    Author: Singh U, Aditi, Aneja P, Kapoor BK, Singh SP, Purewal SS.
    Journal: Indian J Tuberc; 2013 Jul; 60(3):180-3. PubMed ID: 24000497.
    Abstract:
    Opportunistic infections are common complications of advanced immuno-deficiency in individuals with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Following involvement of the lung, the central nervous system (CNS) is the second most commonly affected organ. We report two cases of concurrent cryptococcal meningitis and tuberculosis (TB) in HIV infected persons. A high suspicion of multiple opportunistic infections should be kept in mind in HIV seropositive individuals.
