Abstrakt: Pneumocystis cariniipneumonia is a frequent manifestation of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It commonly presents with nonproductive cough, fever, and dyspnea. We report this case of P cariniipneumonia presenting with hemoptysis, since to the best of our knowledge, hemoptysis has not been reported to be a presenting manifestation of P cariniipneumonia. Autopsy revealed multiple lung cavities. (Chest 1991; 99:251–53)
