A 38-year-old man with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and cavitary pulmonary lesions

Article Abstract:

A 38-year-old man was admitted to a hospital because of increasing shortness of breath, chest pain and a chronic lung condition. He had been diagnosed with AIDS one year earlier. Even though he had a chronic lung disease, samples of sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage had consistently tested negative for Pneumocystis carinii. This organism is a common cause of lung infection in AIDS patients. During his hospitalization a section of his lung was removed and microscopic examination revealed that he had Pneumocystis carinii infection. This infection is usually much easier to diagnose.

Diagnosis, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
