Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is a well known opportunistic infection in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients with lymphopenia and treated with corticosteroid or cytotoxics agents. We report a new case of PCP in an untreated SLE with severe lymphopenia. We discuss the origin of lymphopenia in SLE, lymphopenia as a risk factor of Pneumocystis carinii infection, and safety precautions to take.
卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎(PCP)是系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者中一种广为人知的机会性感染,这些患者淋巴细胞减少,并接受皮质类固醇或细胞毒性药物治疗。我们报告了一例未经治疗且严重淋巴细胞减少的SLE患者发生PCP的新病例。我们讨论了SLE中淋巴细胞减少的起源、淋巴细胞减少作为卡氏肺孢子虫感染的危险因素以及应采取的安全预防措施。
