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.
