N2 - This report describes the first dual microsporidial infection with Encephalitozoon cuniculi and Enterocytozoon bieneusi in an HIV-positive patient. In view of clinical and epidemiological findings, our E. cuniculi isolate was deduced to be of the dog strain. The patient's occupational involvement with dogs indicates that canines should be considered as a reservoir of human infections for both microsporidial species. Furthermore, our report provides detailed clinical and radiological information on a rare case of a symptomatic pulmonary infection by E. cuniculi and its improvement after treatment with albendazole.
