Abstract:
Twelve cases of Pneumocystis pneumonia in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis were compared with a control-group of 32 patients. Our study showed that the dose of cyclophosphamide received in the first three months and a profound lymphocytopenia were strongly predictive of a risk of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in these patients.
