[Interstitial pneumonia in children on cystostatic treatment for malignant systematic disease (author's transl)].
The radiologic appearances of interstitial pneumonia are described as they appeared in 39 children treated with immunosuppressive and cytostatic substances given for malignant systemic disease. At the time most of the children were in a stage of remission of their basic illness. In most of them there may have been a pneumocystis carinii infection. 15 children died of this pneumonia. In the majority of post-mortem examinations pneumocysts could be detected.
