ABSTRACT
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) can be a life-threatening opportunistic infection after kidney transplantation, occurring most frequently in the first 12 months with the symptoms of dyspnea, cough, fever, and hypoxia. Prophylaxis for PCP is usually applied during the first 3 months to 1 year after transplantation, but late onset incidence of PCP can be detected. We report on a patient who developed PCP 9 years after renal transplantation. The patient showed indolent onset of acute respiratory distress and was treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and corticosteroid therapy. Previous rescue treatment of acute cellular rejection with ongoing maintenance of an elevated level of immunosuppressants may have predisposed the patient to PCP.
