Abstract
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) infection is a well-recognized feature of advanced HIV infection in all risk groups. This serious opportunistic parasitic infection is almost invariably fatal if left untreated. When associated with bilateral pneumo-thoraces in a patient with severe haemophilia A and factor VIII inhibitors, it poses a critical management problem and can be life-threatening. We report the case of a young man with severe haemophilia A with factor VIII inhibitors presenting with bilateral pneumothoraces which was successfully managed with conservative therapy only.
