Abstract
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is very common cause of acute respiratory failure in patients with hematological malignancy. The role of non-invasive ventilation in moderate to severe respiratory failure due to PCP is controversial. We report a case of PCP with acute severe hypoxaemic respiratory failure well managed with prolonged continuous non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) and other specific treatment in a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), on consolidation chemotherapy.
