Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia represents a rare complication that is associated with a high mortality following heart transplantation. The cases of two heart transplant recipients who developed Pneumocystis pneumonia within the first 3 postoperative months are reported. Both patients had severe clinical symptoms of the disease; the diagnosis was confirmed by bronchoalveolar lavage, and the patients were treated with a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole. Both patients recovered and are well at the time of this report.
