In this Grand Rounds presentation, Dr. Jacobson examines 2 cases that illustrate challenges in caring for severely immunosuppressed patients. The first case presents the dilemma in deciding when to start ART for a critically ill patient with PCP and discusses how to differentiate among PCP, IRIS, and other conditions. The second case features a man who presented multiple times with headache and fever, splenomegaly, and pancytopenia before the diagnosis was determined.
