A patient with a history of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) inhaled aerosolized pentamidine (AP) for secondary prophylaxis of PCP. Nine months after the first PCP episode he presented with pulmonary upper-lobe infiltrations demonstrated by chest x-ray, and bronchoalveolar lavage confirmed the diagnosis of PCP. The clinical course and possible explanations for this unusual form of PCP are presented.
