Several cases have been reported of infections in immunocompromised patients. Acute leukemia is the main predisposing factor. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is not usually associated with opportunistic infections. We report a case of pulmonary infection by in a patient with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Although the patient had a complete recovery, we believe that this report will alert clinicians to consider as possible cause of severe pneumonia in untreated CLL.
已有多例免疫功能低下患者感染的病例报告。急性白血病是主要的诱发因素。慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)通常与机会性感染无关。我们报告一例未经治疗的慢性淋巴细胞白血病患者发生[病原体名称未给出]肺部感染的病例。尽管患者已完全康复,但我们认为本报告将提醒临床医生在未经治疗的CLL患者中考虑[病原体名称未给出]作为严重肺炎的可能病因。
