The association of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is not clearly defined. In our experience of 291 patients with AML, 20 (14 males and 6 females, median age 56) developed PJP (incidence 6.8%). Thirteen patients (65%) survived until discharge from hospital. We conclude that PJP is not uncommon among patients with AML. In clinical care of AML, awareness of PJP should be heightened and prophylaxis should be considered.
耶氏肺孢子菌肺炎(PJP)与急性髓系白血病(AML)之间的关联尚未明确界定。根据我们对291例AML患者的经验,有20例(14例男性和6例女性,中位年龄56岁)发生了PJP(发病率6.8%)。13例患者(65%)存活至出院。我们得出结论,PJP在AML患者中并不罕见。在AML的临床护理中,应提高对PJP的认识并考虑进行预防。
