摘要
We report three cases of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) during dose-dense neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. All patients presented with symptoms (e.g., fever), and computed tomography showed diffuse ground-glass shadows. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed, and the diagnosis was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction for Pneumocystis jirovecii. All patients had completed three or four courses of dose-dense epirubicin-cyclophosphamide chemotherapy and received prednisolone for preventing chemo-induced nausea and vomiting. Moreover, lymphocytopenia was observed in all patients. Since the onset of PJP in preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be life- threatening and leads to delayed surgery, careful consideration of prophylaxis for PJP is required.
