description During the COVID-19 pandemic, additional difficulties have emerged in the differential diagnosis of interstitial pulmonary abnormalities, especially in patients with HIV infection, in whom this kind of injury can be caused by a wide range of pathogens, including opportunistic diseases. The high probability of an adverse outcome of pulmonary disease in patients with severe immunodeficiency requires an urgent choice of effective therapy.The article describes clinical cases of pneumocystis pneumonia in two COVID-19 patients with newly diagnosed HIV infection, illustrating the difficulties of differential diagnosis in these conditions.
