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.

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 ...

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1984
To assess the sensitivity of bronchoalveolar lavage in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in diagnosing Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), we prospectively performed 27 bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) in 16 patients either ...

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 in wildlife
International Journal for Parasitology, 1998Pneumocystis carinii is a eukaryotic organism capable of causing life-threatening pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised hosts. Despite intensive investigation in human and laboratory animal hosts, information on the occurrence and nature of infections in wild animals is scarce, although characterisation of infections in wild-animal populations may help ...

Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia [PDF]
, 1986 Prior to 1981, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) was a rather rare disease seen primarily by physicians working with oncology or transplant patients. Then early in June 1981, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued the first report of PCP in five homosexual men in Los Angeles1. That brief report, in retrospect, marked the beginning of a new and

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.
