[Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in a Patient with Interstitial Lung Disease].

Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii) is an opportunistic pulmonary infection that occurs in immunocompromised patients. Here, a 49-year-old female patient who was admitted to our hospital with respiratuary distress and whose bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid specimens had P. jirovecii and Aspegillus fumigatus was presented. She had been treated with corticosteroids because of interstisial lung disease and she was also diabetic. It is important to define the coinfection developed in the presence of immunosuppression.
