Two cases of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) associated with immunosuppressed status are presented. They showed rapid progressive symptoms and serious hypoxemia. Transbronchial lung biopsy and bronchoalveolar lavage were very useful for the early diagnosis of PCP. They were treated with administration of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or pentamidine isethionate and a high dose of corticosteroid. Clinical and radiological improvement was obtained by the administration of high dosage corticosteroid as an adjunctive therapy.
