Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), now referred to as Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, is a fungal infection that most commonly affects the immunocompromised and, in some cases, can be severely life-threatening. Typically, patients at risk are those with underlying disease states that alter host immunity, such as cancer, HIV, transplant recipients, or those taking immunosuppressive ...
Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia: A Clinical Review
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is an opportunistic infection that occurs in immunosuppressed populations, primarily patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus infection. The classic ...

Request an Appointment. 410-955-5000 Maryland. 855-695-4872 Outside of Maryland. +1-410-502-7683 International. Pneumocystis pneumonia or PCP is a fungal infection in one or both lungs. It is common in people who have a weak immune system, such as people who have AIDS.
Pneumocystis Pneumonia Basics
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a serious lung infection that affects people with weakened immune systems. PCP is airborne, spreading person-to-person, and can cause symptoms, like fever, cough, and chest pain. Treatment for PCP must include prescription medication. PCP can cause death without treatment.
Pneumocystis pneumonia
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a serious infection caused by the fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii. Most people who get PCP have a medical condition that weakens their immune system, like HIV/AIDS, or take medicines (such as corticosteroids) that lower the body's ability to fight germs and sickness. In the United States, people with HIV/AIDS are ...

Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP), formerly known as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), is the most common opportunistic infection in persons with HIV infection. []Pneumocystis first came to attention as a cause of interstitial pneumonia in severely malnourished and premature infants during World War II in Central and Eastern Europe. Before the 1980s, fewer than 100 cases of PJP were ...
Diagnosing Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia: A review of current
Introduction. Pneumocystis jirovecii is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes life-threatening cases of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised patients.Pneumocystis was originally named Pneumocystis carinii after Antonio Carinii, the parasitologist who found the life-form in infected rat lungs. 1 The organism that causes pneumonia in humans was named Pneumocystis jirovecii in ...
PCP presentations may vary according to the underlying reason for immunosuppression. Response to treatment and adjuvant steroid therapy should be analyzed. PCP is a common pathology in HIV-infected but also in uninfected immunocompromised individuals. With the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, chest imaging is often used as a ...

Clinical Presentation. The symptoms of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) include dyspnea, nonproductive cough, and fever. Chest radiography demonstrates bilateral infiltrates. Extrapulmonary lesions occur in a minority (<3%) of patients, involving most frequently the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and bone marrow.

Terminology. Classically, "PCP" was the acronym for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, but the causative organism was reclassified as Pneumocystis jirovecii. Pneumocystis carinii refers to a species found in rats, while Pneumocystis jirovecii refers to the human isolate 14.However, there continues to be widespread use of the acronym PCP; a post hoc justification for its use is it stands for ...
Purpose of Review The purpose of this study is to provide an understanding of the increased range of patient cohorts at risk of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) and describe typical clinical presentations together with advances in diagnostic assays and strategies. Recent Findings The range of immuno-compromised patients at risk of PCP continues to expand. Apart from human ...
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia
If PCP is suspected based on clinical presentation, and the chest x-ray is compatible with PCP, the first step in diagnosis should be an induced sputum for visualization of Pneumocystis jirovecii. Sputum that is spontaneously expectorated has low sensitivity for the diagnosis of PCP and should not be used.

Pneumocystis Pneumonia: Symptoms, Treatment and More
Pneumocystis pneumonia—often referred to by the acronym PCP—is a potentially life-threatening condition in which fluid builds up in the lungs and causes inflammation. PCP is caused by a tiny fungus called Pneumocystis jirovecii that is common in the environment. Pneumocystis pneumonia has a long recorded history, going as far back as 1909.
