DETECTION OF PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII (JIROVECI) FROM IRAQI PATIENTS WITH LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: Pneumocystis carinii is one of the rare fungi which cause pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. It is important to detect the fungus from the clinical specimens of suspected patients by laboratory tests. Objective:To identify Pneumocystis

Identificação de agentes infecciosos pulmonares em autópsias de pacientes com a síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida Identification of infectious agents in the lungs in autopsies of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2002
As afecções pulmonares são freqüentes em indivíduos infectados pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana. Neste trabalho, procurou-se identificar através de histoquímica e imunohistoquímica, agentes infecciosos nos pulmões de indivíduos portadores da ...

Comparative Genomics of Pneumocystis Species Suggests the Absence of Genes for myo-Inositol Synthesis and Reliance on Inositol Transport and Metabolism

mBio, 2014
In the context of deciphering the metabolic strategies of the obligate pathogenic fungi in the genus Pneumocystis, the genomes of three species (P. carinii, P. murina, and P.

Characterizations of Pneumocystis carinii and rat lung lipids: glyceryl ethers and fatty alcohols

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Pneumocystis carinii carinii and rat lung phospholipids contained 3–6% 1-alkyl-2-acyl glycerols composed of the glyceryl ether species, 1-O-octadecyl glycerol (batyl alcohol), 1-O-octadec-9-enyl glycerol (selachyl alcohol), 1-O-hexadecyl glycerol (chimyl

Absolute lymphocyte count as a predictor of Pneumocystis pneumonia in patients previously unknown to have HIV [PDF]

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2012
This is a retrospective review of patients admitted to an inner city community hospital with community-acquired pneumonia who were ultimately diagnosed with AIDS and Pneumocystis. Absolute lymphocyte count in our hospital is available immediately.

Comprehensive and definitive structural identities of Pneumocystis carinii sterols

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
Pneumocystis causes a type of pneumonia in immunodeficient mammals, such as AIDS patients. Mammals cannot alkylate the C-24 position of the sterol side chain, nor can they desaturate C-22.

Noninvasive Method for Monitoring Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
The progression of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia was temporally monitored and quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction of P. carinii–specific DNA in oral swabs and lung homogenates from infected rats. DNA levels correlated with the number of P.

Aerobic bacteria, Chlamydia trachomatis, Pneumocystis carinii and Cytomegalovirus as agents of severe peneumonia in small infants Bactérias aeróbias, Chlamydia trachomatis, Pneumocystis carinii e Cytomegalovirus: agentes causadores de pneumonia grave em pequenos lactentes

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1996
The authors studied 58 infants hospitalized for pneumonia in a semi-intensive care unit. Age ranged from 1 complete to 6 incomplete months. The infants were sent from another hospital in 20 cases and from home in a further 38.

Hypobaric hypoxia-related impairment of pulmonary surfactant proteins A and D did not favour Pneumocystis carinii Frenkel 1999 growth in non-immunocompromised rats

Parasite, 2008
It has been suggested that patients with pulmonary surfactant impairment are more susceptible to Pneumocystis infection than healthy controls. Owing the fact that most patients with pulmonary surfactant impairment also suffer from hypoxia, we explored ...
