dc.description.abstract A two-month-old HIV-infected infant was ventilated for very severe Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. After successful extubation, he was started on antiretroviral therapy. He developed a proven cytomegalovirus infection, localising as pneumonia. This required repeated ventilation. He was extubated after six weeks and completed 32 days of ganciclovir. en_US
