[Diagnosis of pulmonary infections by specific etiologic agents in secondary immunocompromised patients].
Ten cases of pulmonary infections by the specific etiologic agents in immunocompromised patients secondary to diseases and/or drugs were reported. Their infections included 5 tuberculosis, 4 pulmonary aspergillosis, 1 Pneumocystis Carinii and cytomegalovirus pneumonia.
