Pneumocystis pneumonia is a frequently seen opportunistic infection in AIDS. It is caused by the fungus PNEUMOCYSTIS JIROVECI. The disease is also found in other MAMMALS where it is caused by related species of Pneumocystis.
- Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). pneumonia resulting from infection with Pneumocystis carinii, frequently seen in the immunologically compromised, such as persons with AIDS, or Steroid-treated individuals, the elderly, or premature or debilitated babies during their first three months.
