Based on this case study and literature review, it is evident that co-infection presents typical clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic features, and can be observed in the prognosis of the disease. Therefore, prospective studies are required to clarify gaps such as the efficacy of secondary prophylaxis and need for clinical and laboratory ...

Case study methods involve an in-depth, longitudinal (over a long period of time) examination of a single instance or event, a case.
