Ultrastructure of Pneumocystis carinii
Experimental and Molecular Pathology, 1971Abstract 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, 1992The 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 PNEUMONIA
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1966Pneumocystis 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.

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
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1991Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is the most common index diagnosis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Eighty percent of AIDS patients will eventually develop PCP. Common presenting symptoms are shortness of breath, cough, weight loss, and fever.

PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII PNEUMONIA
Medical Clinics of North America, 1997Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) remains an important complication of AIDS. Advances have been made in establishing the taxonomy of the organism but the life cycle of the organism and pathogenetic mechanisms of disease remain obscure. In HIV patients the incidence of PCP has decreased because of widespread use of prophylaxis and survival of those ...

Pneumocystis carinii thyroiditis
The American Journal of Medicine, 1988A 38-year-old black man with a history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome associated with intravenous drug abuse presented with two weeks of left-sided neck swelling. Results of thyroid function tests were within normal limits. Thyroid scan demonstrated nonvisualization of the left lobe. Fine-needle aspiration of the thyroid revealed the presence of

Nomenclature for Pneumocystis carinii
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1988Although Pneumocystis carinii was first recognized over 75 y ago, its taxonomic position remains to be established. The difficulty with taxonomy stems from the dearth of knowledge about the biology of P. carinii, along with the lack of well-defined and generally accepted criteria for the classification of protozoa as well as fungi.
