Abstract
During November 1983, three patients at one New York City Hospital who had the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) developed severe neutropenia while being treated with pentamidine isethionate. Since August 1981, 23 other patients with AIDS and PCP had been treated with pentamidine at this institution. None developed neutropenia that could not be explained by the simultaneous administration of another drug.
