- W3207817172 abstract "TOPIC: Chest Infections TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is an AIDS-defining illness, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is also found in patients with other immunosuppressive conditions such as organ transplant and malignancies (1). We present 4 cases of PCP in post-COVID 19 patients. All cases were HIV negative. CASE PRESENTATION: Case 1: A 30-year old female was admitted with a 1-month history of worsening shortness of breath (SOB) and productive cough. She had no known co-morbids and no history of corticosteroid use. Her oxygen saturation (SpO2) was 85% and respiratory rate (RR) was 35 breaths/minute (BPM). Chest examination revealed bibasilar crackles and CT scan showed bilateral (B/L) ground-glass haziness along with interlobular septal thickening. Patient's COVID-19 test was negative however her antibodies were reactive. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) came back positive for PCP. Patient was managed with co-trimoxazole 48 hourly and prednisolone 25 mg BID.Case 2: A 70-year old male was admitted with high grade fever and SOB for 4 days. He was a known hypertensive, with a history of severe COVID-19 pneumonia 1.5 months back for which he was managed with IV tocilizumab and dexamethasone. His SpO2 was 63% and RR was 73 BPM. Chest examination revealed unilateral (U/L) reduced breath sounds. Chest X-ray showed U/L consolidation and sputum for PCP tested positive. Patient was shifted to the ICU and intubated for respiratory failure. He expired after 4 days of ICU stay.Case 3: A 71-year old male was admitted with SOB for 3 days. He was a known diabetic and hypertensive, with a history of severe COVID-19 pneumonia 1.5 months back, for which he was treated with IV tocilizumab and corticosteroids. His SpO2 was 93% and RR was 28 BPM. Chest examination revealed bibasilar crackles. His CT scan revealed B/L ground-glass haziness, and BAL was positive for PCP. Patient was managed with co-trimoxazole 8 hourly and prednisolone 20 mg BID.Case 4: A 28-year old female was electively admitted for induction chemotherapy. She was a known case of Acute Myeloid Leukemia with a history of COVID-19 infection 1 month back for which she was managed at home. During her hospital stay, she developed persistent cough and febrile neutropenia. Chest examination revealed bibasilar crackles and CT scan showed B/L ground-glass haze. BAL was positive for PCP. She was managed with co-trimoxazole 8 hourly and prednisolone 20 mg BID. DISCUSSION: A number of infectious sequelae have been described in post-COVID 19 patients. Few case reports of concurrent PCP and COVID-19 infection exist in literature (2), however there is only 1 case report of PCP as a post-COVID 19 sequela (3). CONCLUSIONS: This case series highlights the importance of being vigilant for infectious sequelae associated with SARS-CoV-2. REFERENCE #1: Schmidt, J.J., Lueck, C., Ziesing, S. et al.
