An unusual radiologic manifestation of Pneumocystis carinii infection (enlarged, calcified hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes) in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is described. This atypical manifestation caused significant diagnostic confusion. Recognition that P carinii infection can cause calcification of hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes may prevent this confusion and facilitate diagnosis and treatment.
描述了一名获得性免疫缺陷综合征患者卡氏肺孢子虫感染的一种不寻常的放射学表现(肺门和纵隔淋巴结肿大、钙化)。这种非典型表现导致了严重的诊断混淆。认识到卡氏肺孢子虫感染可导致肺门和纵隔淋巴结钙化,可能会避免这种混淆,并有助于诊断和治疗。
