(A) Chest radiograph on admission showing bilateral middle and lower zone infiltrates. A high-resolution CT thorax scan showed bilateral ground-glass opacities and patchy consolidation suggestive of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. (B) Chest radiograph after 4 days of corticosteroid showing resolution of infiltrates. The patient was also on levofloxacin day 5 for empirical bacterial coverage. (C) Chest radiograph 10 days after corticosteroid (and quinolone) cessation showing rapidly returning infiltrates.
