Pneumocystis A Pneumonia that affects individuals whose immunological defenses (immune system) have been compromised, that is caused by a microorganism (Pneumocystis Carinii) and that attacks esp. the interstitial tissue (fiberous tissue) of the lungs with marked thickening of the alveolar septa and alveoli.
Pneumocystis is a genus of fungi which can be pathogenic in mammals.
Pneumocystis species can cause pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals; in humans, those with AIDS are particularly susceptible, with P.
Also known as pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), the disease attacks the interstitial, fibrous tissue of the lungs, with marked thickening of the alveolar septa and alveoli and leading to significant hypoxia which can be fatal if not treated aggressively.
Pneumocystiscarinii pneumonia presenting as cavitating and noncavitating solitary pulmonary nodules in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Abstract: Thick-walled pulmonary cavities are an uncommon manifestation of Pneumocystiscarinii pneumonia (PCP).
