[Immune reconstitution syndrome in an HIV-infected patient and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia].

Immune reconstitution syndrome is a set of acute inflammatory phenomena that occur as a result of restored immunity generating a paradoxical worsening of a prior infection or an inflammatory process. This syndrome occurs in human immunodeficiency virus infected patients after starting antiretroviral treatment. The most frequent associated infections are those produced by mycobacteria, herpes, cryptococcosis, hepatitis B, cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis jirovecii and worsening of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy secondary to JC virus.

[Septic pulmonary embolism of cutaneous origin].

Septic pulmonary embolism is a serious and rare illness characterized by pulmonary infiltrates associated with an extrapulmonary infectious focus. It is mainly related to right-sided endocarditis, pelvic thrombophlebitis, vascular access and less frequently to deep infections such as osteomyelitis, septic arthritis and pyomyositis. The community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an emerging pathogen with high virulence and rapid spread involving subjects without previous related diseases or known risk factors.
