BACKGROUND Ferox Trout are large, long-lived piscivorous Brown Trout (Salmo trutta). Due to their exceptionally large size, Ferox Trout are highly sought after by anglers while their life-history strategy, which includes delayed maturation, multiphasic growth and extended longevity, is of interest to ecological and evolutionary modelers.

A 40-year-old HIV-positive man was evaluated for fatigue, weakness, fever, and cough. He was not taking any medications. His blood count showed normocytic anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia (hemoglobin 85.0 g/L, mean corpuscular volume 99 fL, white blood cell count 1.9 109/L, platelets 50 109/L). His CD4 count was 0.05 109/L. Other laboratory tests showed normal B12, folate, thyroid, and ...
