Eine seltene Form einer pulmonalen Infektion

Zusammenfassung

Beschrieben wird das Auftreten einer Pneumocystis jirovecii-Pneumonie bei einem HIV-negativem, nicht immunkompromittiertem Erwachsenen. Diskutiert werden die möglichen Ursachen der Erkrankung.

Abstract

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia is a common cause of respiratory disease in immunocompromised hosts. We describe a case of an HIV negative, immunocompetent patient and discuss the probable cause.
