Adult germ-free rats treated with dexamethasone and exposed to a non-sterile environment did not harbor or develop Pneumocystis carinii cysts or trophozoites after 10 weeks of immunosuppression. Only when they were exposed to infected, conventional rats and treated with dexamethasone for 8 weeks or longer, did adult germ-free rats develop P. carinii infection.
用 dexamethasone 处理并暴露于非无菌环境的成年无菌大鼠,在免疫抑制 10 周后未携带或出现卡氏肺孢子虫囊肿或滋养体。只有当它们暴露于受感染的普通大鼠并接受 dexamethasone 处理 8 周或更长时间时,成年无菌大鼠才会发生卡氏肺孢子虫感染。
