초록

Late-onset Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) can be developed in solid organ transplant (SOT) patients. Granulomatous P. jirovecii pneumonia (GPCP) can occur in immunocompromised patients, but has rarely been reported in SOT recipients. The diagnosis of GPCP is difficult since the sensitivity of sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage is low and atypical patterns are shown. A 60-year-old man, who had undergone renal transplantation 24 years ago presented with nodular and patchy lung lesions. He was asymptomatic and stable. After empirical treatment with a fluoroquinolone, the condition partially resolved but relapsed 4 months later. The pulmonary nodule was resected, and GPCP was confirmed. The pathogenesis of GPCP remains unclear, but in SOT recipients presenting with an atypical lung pattern, GPCP should be considered. This case was discussed at the Grand Clinical Ground of the Korean Society of Infectious Disease conference on November 3, 2022.

Abstract

Late-onset Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) can be developed in solid organ transplant (SOT) patients. Granulomatous P. jirovecii pneumonia (GPCP) can occur in immunocompromised patients, but has rarely been reported in SOT recipients. The diagnosis of GPCP is difficult since the sensitivity of sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage is low and atypical patterns are shown. A 60-year-old man, who had undergone renal transplantation 24 years ago presented with nodular and patchy lung lesions. He was asymptomatic and stable. After empirical treatment with a fluoroquinolone, the condition partially resolved but relapsed 4 months later. The pulmonary nodule was resected, and GPCP was confirmed. The pathogenesis of GPCP remains unclear, but in SOT recipients presenting with an atypical lung pattern, GPCP should be considered. This case was discussed at the Grand Clinical Ground of the Korean Society of Infectious Disease conference on November 3, 2022.
