A cluster of suspected Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia following intensive chemotherapy in a Belfast haematology unit.

Y L Ong1, F G Jones.   

Abstract

Five cases of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia were diagnosed in adult patients following intensive chemotherapy in the Royal Group of Hospitals haematology unit, Belfast, within a space of six months. The common features and the risk factors contributing to the increased susceptibility of these patients are discussed, as are the likely mechanisms of transmission of infection.
