 AB    Authors report a case of P. carinii pneumonia in a child with 5% CD4
       lymphocytes (absolute number 5/microliters) after autologous bone marrow
       transplantation followed by pulmonary irradiation. Serial evaluation of
       CD4 lymphocyte count or percentage or, at least, detection of
       significant and persistent lymphopenia could be useful for detecting a
       high risk of developing P. carinii pneumonia.
