abstract={Immunocompromised patients are very prone to infection and sometimes result in death. <i>Pneumocystis carinii</i> pneumonia (PCP) is one of the opportunistic infections that affects lung. The frequency was high (80-88%). We reported 2 severe cases of PCP infection that remain survive. Case 1 is 8-year-old boy, post-liver transplantation, with PCP, pulmonary tuberculosis, cytomegalovirus infection, septic shock and severe malnutrition. Case 2 is 8-year-old girl, HIV positive, with PCP, respiratory failure, and severe malnutrition. These patients survived after adequate treatment of PCP and nutritional support.
