Pneumocystis jirovecii infection of bilateral adrenal glands in an immunocompetent adult: a case report
Pneumocystis jirovecii (PJ) infection is one of the most common opportunistic infections occurring in patients with HIV/AIDS and other immunocompromised states. It is not known to cause clinically significant illness in immunocompetent hosts. We report a 48-year-old HIV-negative, diabetic male who presented with fever and adrenal insufficiency. Abdominal sonography and PET-CT revealed bilateral enlarged adrenal glands with peripheral enhancement and central necrosis.
