PCP
Magarete,
I assume that the PCP was from the combination of Rituxan, Prednisone, and Imuran. I was taking all 3 during the months of June, July and then the latter two in August.
After the doctors figured out that it was PCP, I took Bactrim for about 3 weeks and was better. I am fully recovered. The biggest problem there is that I think that I had the pneumonia for about 3 weeks before recognizing the problem. I went in a little bit naive about the potential for side effects from the various treatments, so I didn't really know what I was looking for......I do know better now.
Thanks and good luck with your recovery.
