Newly Formed Cystic Lesions for the Development of Pneumomediastinum in Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia

Presented by:	BMC Infectious Diseases / Ju-Yeon Cho, Dong-Min Kim, Yong Eun Kwon, Sung Ho Yoon and Seung Il Lee
Summary points:	The authors report 2 cases of spontaneous pneumomediastinum with subcutaneous emphysema in HIV-infected patients treated for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. The authors suggest that clinicians should be aware that cystic lesions and bronchiectasis can develop in spite of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole treatment for P. jirovecii pneumonia.
