Due to important structural changes occurring in the immune system exposed to HIV, the risk of sepsis in HIV-positive patients increases proportionally to the duration of this exposure as well as the presence/evolution of other debilitating pathologies. Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the main causes of invasive infections in HIV-infected patients, and the risk of severe pneumococcal disease is several times higher than the general population. We present the case of an invasive pneumococcal disease in a HIV-infected patient with a strain resistant to third generation cephalosporines.
