Abstract
In December 2019, an outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) occurred in Wuhan, China. Since then, this disease has infected more than 900,000 individuals worldwide. Here we report a case of non-severe COVID-19 pneumonia who was living with HIV. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed different abnormalities from those of conventional COVID-19, and the faster absorption of pulmonary lesions also highlights the importance of antiretroviral therapy in this patient. This report provides reference for the diagnosis and treatment of HIV-infected patients with COVID-19. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
