Case report: Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia presenting as a solitary cavitating lung lesion in non-HIV immunosuppressed patients

Institute of Pulmonology, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel.

Pneumocystis carinii is one of the most common pulmonary opportunistic infections in immunodeficient patients. It has a classical chest radiographic appearance of bilateral interstitial infiltrates. Recently, cystic or cavitating lesions have been reported in HIV patients with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. We report two cases of non-AIDS immunosuppressed patients with the unusual presentation of a solitary cavity in the lung.
