[Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia during prolonged corticosteroid therapy in an immunocompetent infant].

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Pneumocystis jiroveci (PJ) infection is rare in infants and is suggestive of primary or secondary immunodeficiency. We report on a case of severe PJ pneumonia in an immunocompetent infant after prolonged corticosteroid treatment. CASE REPORT:A 5 1/2 month-old girl presented with hypoxemic respiratory distress. Her medical record was remarkable only for a bulky parotid haemangioma, which was treated with prolonged oral corticosteroid therapy. The chest X-ray showed a mixed alveolar-interstitial pattern, and bronchoalveolar lavage revealed the presence of PJ. A favourable outcome was obtained after three weeks of intravenous trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole treatment. CONCLUSION:PJ infection should be suspected in infants presenting with progressive respiratory distress associated with a mixed alveolar-interstitial pattern. Its potential seriousness justifies prophylactic therapy during prolonged immunosuppressive treatment (chemotherapy, corticosteroid treatment).
