Pneumocystis: not just pneumonia

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2005
Once known exclusively as the agents of severe pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals, Pneumocystis spp. are now being associated with asymptomatic carriage in hosts that do not have profound immune debilitation. In the absence of a cultivation system, polymerase chain reaction and histological studies have identified Pneumocystis in neonatal ...

Pneumocystis pneumonia in the dog

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1972
Abstract Pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii occurred in 6 young, male, miniature dachshunds producing severe dyspnoea, although the dogs were afebrile and otherwise alert. The diffuse nature of the pulmonary disease and the resultant cardiac enlargement were visible radiographically.

PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII PNEUMONIA

Medical Clinics of North America, 1997
Pneumocystis 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 PNEUMONIA

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1966
Pneumocystis 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 Pneumonia

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2008
Pneumocystis is an opportunistic fungus that is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts. Despite a decline in incidence with the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), Pneumocystis remains the most common opportunistic infection in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and is an ...

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

Pneumocystis 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

Radiology, 1960
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia is apparently still rare in the United States, since only seven deaths from this cause have been unequivocally proved. The seventh of these cases, from the John Sealy Hospital, Galveston, Texas, brought to our attention this interesting and serious interstitial plasma-cell pneumonia which we had not heretofore recognized.
