Pneumocystis carinii is an opportunistic infection found in patients with impaired immunity. Under favourable conditions the parasite can spread via the blood stream or lymphatic vessels and cause extrapulmonary dissemination. We report a case of P carinii infection presenting as bilateral aural polyps, otitis media and mastoiditis in human immunodeficiency (HIV)-positive patient with no history of prior or concomitant P carinii infection.
卡氏肺孢子菌是一种在免疫功能受损患者中发现的机会性感染病原体。在有利条件下，该寄生虫可通过血流或淋巴管传播并导致肺外播散。我们报告一例卡氏肺孢子菌感染病例，该病例表现为双侧耳息肉、中耳炎和乳突炎，患者为人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）阳性，既往无卡氏肺孢子菌感染史，也无合并感染情况。
