Granulomatous PJP presenting as a solitary lung nodule in an immune competent female

Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) opportunistically targets immunosuppressed patients, most notably those with advanced HIV/AIDS. Radiologically, PJP typically appears as bilateral diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. Herein an unusual case of an immunocompetent woman developing granulomatous PJP in t...

description Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) opportunistically targets immunosuppressed patients, most notably those with advanced HIV/AIDS. Radiologically, PJP typically appears as bilateral diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. Herein an unusual case of an immunocompetent woman developing granulomatous PJP in the absence of evident risk factors is described. PJP may be an under-recognized cause of pulmonary nodules in immune competent individuals.
