Pneumocystis jiroveci lymphadenitis is a rare manifestation of extrapulmonary pneumocystosis. A case of recurrent\udinfection with lymphadenitis caused by Pneumocystis jiroveci in a middle-aged patient is described. He presented with\udprolonged fever, recurrent diarrhea, and severe anemia required frequent blood transfusion recognized to be Good’s\udsyndrome. Cervical lymph node biopsy revealed caseating granulomas and presence of organisms morphologically\udconsistent with Pneumocystis spp. Bone marrow biopsy was compatible with pure red cell aplasia associated with Good’s\udsyndrome. According to our knowledge, it is the first case diagnosed with Good’s syndrome, Pneumocystis jiroveci\udlymphadenitis and pure red cell aplasia. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2016;6(2): 87-9
