Abstract
Four patients with PCP complicating a CTD are described. Rising serum lactate dehydrogenase levels were documented during an asymptomatic period associated with corticosteroid dosage tapering, weeks prior to the development of acute pulmonary symptoms. The diagnosis of PCP was established by FOB in each patient.
