A 14-year-old male, who had immigrated to the United States from sub-Saharan Africa 7 years ago and was recently diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and disseminated tuberculosis, presented with a rapidly rising serum creatinine of unknown etiology. He had initially presented to our institution approximately 1 month before with 2 months of fever, general malaise, abdominal pain, a 23-pound weight loss and 4 months of cough. He was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and found to have an initial absolute CD4+ T-lymphocyte count of 227 cells/μL (16.8%) and an HIV RNA level of 734,709 copies/mL. At that time, computed tomography scan of his chest, abdomen and pelvis demonstrated extensive necrotic adenopathy in his bilateral neck and axilla, as well as multiple sites within his thorax and abdomen, along with diffuse miliary pulmonary nodules with ground glass opacification and several small, hypodense splenic lesions. Biopsies of a left neck lymph node and a right lower lung pulmonary nodule showed extensive granulomatous lymphadenitis and a granulomatous pneumonia, respectively, both with rare acid-fast bacilli. In addition, several sputum samples and a broncheoalveolar lavage sample grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Consequently, the patient was started on tuberculosis therapy consisting of rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. Two weeks after initiating tuberculosis therapy and 2 weeks before the current presentation, antiretroviral therapy with lamivudine, zidovudine and efavirenz was also initiated, but 4 days later, the regimen was transitioned to efavirenz, emtricitabine and tenofovir (as 1 pill daily; Atripla) for ease of administration. Of note, before the start of antiretroviral therapy, a renal ultrasound revealed normal kidney size and echogenicity with no signs of renal abnormalities, and the patient had a normal serum creatinine (0.4 mg/dL) and urinalysis. At the time of initial discharge from our hospital, the patient was afebrile without abdominal pain and was noted to have a marked decrease in his peripheral lymphadenopathy.
