| Popis: | Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia is associated with immunodepression processes of cellular origin, such as haematological neoplasia, solid organ transplant, or HIV infection. Patients with solid organ tumours under chemotherapy treatment develop P. carinii pneumonia with much lower frequency. We report a case of P. carinii pneumonia in a patient with advanced prostatic neoplasia under chemotherapy treatment. The patient was treated with cotrimoxazol and methylprednisolone for two weeks, and with cotrimoxazol during the remaining chemotherapy treatment. Full recovery from pneumonia was achieved. |
