Choroiditis and exudative macular detachments in a post transplant leukaemic patient: an unusual presentation of Pneumocystis jiroveci infection

Three years earlier she had undergone a successful allogeneic bone marrow transplant for chronic myeloid leukaemia. P jiroveci has been found in these lesions on histological sections 3, 5 and the lesions resolve on systemic anti-pneumocystis treatment. 4 However, most cases of P jiroveci choroiditis are diagnosed histologically post mortem. 3, 6 Thus, the acute clinical findings may be more varied than previously described.
