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 ...
