Patients with HIV infection are exposed to the different opportunistic infections and the<br />
most commom among them is Pneumocystis. Over 85% of HIV patients without treatment<br />
would eventually develope Pneumocystis pneumonia which still causes death in<br />
about 10% of cases. Diagnosis may be suspected by the patient’s clinical presentation in<br />
typical cases but the best diagnostic yield is achieved by analyzing samples obtained by<br />
bronchoalveolar lavage and induced sputum. We present the case of 42 years-old male<br />
with long-time period undiagnosed and untreated Pneumocystis infection.First morphological<br />
diagnosis was established in transbronchial lung biopsy imprint cytology.<br />
