We report the first case of a critically ill pediatric patient coinfected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP). Instances of coinfection of COVID-19 and PCP are being increasingly reported as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Because the combination can be life-threatening, timely diagnosis and treatment for PCP is necessary in cases where an immunocompromised patient contracts COVID-19.
