| Popis: |
We present a case of severe Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and coexisting cytomegalovirus infection in a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme deficient woman with anaplastic astrocytoma on temozolomide and corticosteroid therapy. She was successfully treated with oral atovaquone and ganciclovir. Atovaquone represents a safe alternative in severe Pneumocystis infection when trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole (co-trimoxazole) is contraindicated. © 2009 Informa UK Ltd. |
