Abstract
Objective: To report a case of SARS-CoV-2/HIV coinfection in a patient with a history of recent lung infections who had a cardiopulmonary arrest on the day of hospitalization for COVID-19 treatment, dying some days after multiple organ failure. Case detail: A 33-year-old immunosuppressed male patient (abandoning treatment for HIV) was admitted to the emergency department with respiratory symptoms and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. During hospitalization, the patient had a cardiorespiratory arrest and presented a robust inflammatory profile, fungal infection, sepsis, metabolic acidosis, arterial hypertension, thrombosis, hemorrhage, and hepatic, muscular, and renal injury. Finally, he evolved with multiple organ failures, leading to death. Conclusion: Severe immunosuppression caused by HIV, associated with underlying cardiopulmonary diseases, contributes to lethal outcomes of COVID-19.
