Pneumocystis Jirovecii (carinii) pneumonia causing lung cystic lesions and pneumomediastinum in non-HIV infected patient [PDF]

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Pneumomediastinum is a rare, potentially life-threatening complication of PCP that occurs in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients. We are presenting a rare case pneumomediastinum caused by pneumocystis Jirovecii pneumonia in a HIV-negative patient with

Diagnosis and Treatment of Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia (PCP)/ Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia in HIV patient: A Case Report

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia, 2017
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) or pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia is an opportunistic infection that can occur in immunocompromised patients. In patients with HIV, PCP is the most common opportunistic infection especially in patients with CD4 cell

Comparative Genomics Suggests Primary Homothallism of Pneumocystis Species [PDF]

mBio, 2015
Pneumocystis species are fungal parasites of mammal lungs showing host specificity. Pneumocystis jirovecii colonizes humans and causes severe pneumonia in immunosuppressed individuals.

Comparative genomics suggests that the fungal pathogen pneumocystis is an obligate parasite scavenging amino acids from its host's lungs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungus causing severe pneumonia in immuno-compromised patients. Progress in understanding its pathogenicity and epidemiology has been hampered by the lack of a long-term in vitro culture method.

Functional Characterization of Pneumocystis carinii Inositol Transporter 1

mBio, 2016
Fungi in the genus Pneumocystis live in the lungs of mammals, where they can cause a fatal pneumonia (PCP [Pneumocystis pneumonia]) in hosts with compromised immune systems.

Functional and Expression Analyses of the Pneumocystis MAT Genes Suggest Obligate Sexuality through Primary Homothallism within Host Lungs [PDF]

mBio, 2018
Fungi of the genus Pneumocystis are obligate parasites that colonize mammals’ lungs and are host species specific. Pneumocystis jirovecii and Pneumocystis carinii infect, respectively, humans and rats.
