الإجابة: B. Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumoniae (PJP)
With a CD4 count of 120 (below 200) the expected opportunistic infection is Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). MAC appears at much lower counts (below 50-100) and toxoplasmosis below 100, so they are not the main risk at 120.
ليش كل خيار صح أو غلط

A
ليش غلط
MAC infection is an AIDS-defining infection that appears when CD4 is below 50; his CD4 of 120 is too high.

B
ليش صح
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia occurs when CD4 is below 200, so a CD4 of 120 puts him at high risk; prophylaxis is with TMP/SMX.

D
ليش غلط
Cerebral toxoplasmosis is listed at CD4 below 100; his CD4 of 120 is above that threshold.
