摘要: We report the case of a 70-year-old patient with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. During therapy new purine analog 2-chloro-deoxyadenosine (2-CDA) developed Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). Although mechanism action 2-CDA suggests incidence opportunistic infections and therefore pneumocystis pneumonia, this is first PCP among 140 patients Swiss study 2-CDA. The described occurrence without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome discussed.
