摘要：
A HIV-negative, newly diagnosed patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was found to have pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. The infection was treated with three weeks of atovaquone and corticosteroids. Clinicians should be aware of pneumocystis pneumonia as an infection in RA patients not receiving treatment. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
