Abstract
A 34-year-old woman tested HIV-positive in December 2005, and was referred to a specialist HIV unit in mid-January 2006. She had presented to her general practitioner with
oesophageal candidiasis and a history of a cough and occasional loose stools since November 2005, with an 8 kg weight loss over the past 6 months. She had no history of
other opportunistic infections or HIV-related conditions. On examination her temperature was 38.5°C and she had sinus tachycardia. Wasting, pallor and severe oral thrush were noted. There was no lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly or splenomegaly, and the findings on respiratory examination were normal.
