摘要：

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which first appeared in December 2019, threatened the world within a few months. Being preoccupied with the risk of this disease might mislead the clinicians and prevent them from providing the best care to their patients who are also exposed to other risks and conditions. In this article, we present a metastatic melanoma patient, who presented with fever, respiratory symptoms and a diffuse bilateral lung infiltration with ground-glass opacities treated with immunotherapy. He was first suspected of having COVID-19 pneumonia, but then Pneumocystis Jiroveci pneumonia was correctly diagnosed and this had to be decided in a timely manner so as not to lose the patient.
