Abstract
A 66-year-old patient presented with Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia (PCP) and was found to have hypogammaglobulinaemia, associated with a thymoma that had been resected 17 months earlier. Only one previous case of PCP in association with a thymoma and hypogammaglobulinaemia has been reported, in which the patient died. We report another such patient who was successfully treated with a combination of intravenous immunoglobulin and high dose cotrimoxazole.
