摘要：
Patients with lung cancer suffer frequent infections which not only thwart the effect of oncological treatment but also affect overall survival. We present a fatal case where coinfection of Pneumocystis jirovecii and Lophomonas blattarum caused pneumonia in a patient with advanced and treated metastatic adenocarcinoma of lung. Cyto-megalovirus (CMV) PCR was positive for the patient. Newer pathogens are not only emerging but also there is an increase in incidence of coinfections. Pneumonia due to coinfection of Pneumocystis jirovecii and Lophomonas blattarum is rare and unusual and requires high degree of suspicion and skill for the diagnosis.
