The Biology of Pneumocystis Carinii

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 1992
AbstractPneumocystis carinii was first described in the lungs of guinea pigs during studies of experimental American trypanosomiasis by Chagas in 1909.1 The organism was thought to represent a variant in the sexual life cypcle of Trypanosoma cruzi. Carini found the organism in trypanosome-infected rats, but it was not until 1912 that the organisms were

Ultrastructure of Pneumocystis carinii

Experimental and Molecular Pathology, 1971
Abstract The ultrastructure of Pneumocystis carinii was studied in two cases of humans with Pneumocystis pneumonia. Emphasis was directed toward determining the nature of the membranous complex structures which appeared contiguous with the concave surface of the organism. It was concluded that these microvillous tubular structures serve to anchor

Opsonophagocytosis of Pneumocystis carinii

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1992
The interaction of Pneumocystis carinii purified from rat lungs with rat peritoneal macrophages and human circulating polymorphonuclear leucocytes was studied by amplified chemiluminescence and examination of stained cytospin preparations. A polyclonal rat antiserum to P. carinii was opsonic with both types of phagocyte.

PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1996
Improved understanding of Pneumocystis carinii, in particular the widespread use of chemoprophylaxis, has resulted in a declining incidence of infection in patients infected with HIV since the late 1980s. Despite these advances, P. carinii pneumonia continues to represent an important cause of pulmonary disease in HIV-seropositive individuals who do ...

PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII PNEUMONIA

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1966
Pneumocystis Carinii pneumonia most often occurs in debilitated infants and children or those with more specific alterations of the immune mechanism. The characteristic clinical picture is one of progressive respiratory distress and cyanosis, with relatively few physical findings pertaining to the thorax.
