- Abstract: Fungal infections are relatively common among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and patients may be infected simultaneously or sequentially with multiple fungal species. Physicians need to select appropriate antifungal agents and therapeutic regimens based on the type and severity of the infection. Herein, we report a young SLE patient who developed concurrent pulmonary infection with Pneumocystis jirovecii and Trichosporon coremiiforme. The patient presented with a variety of imaging manifestations, with specific features evolving as the disease progressed.
