Fourteen mice trapped in or near houses were infected with Pneumocystis carinii and the establishment of pneumonia was helped by injecting with cortisone acetate for 6 weeks. Then 16 cats were infected with P. carinii by injection of lung homogenate from the mice which contained from 1.3 x 10(5) to 2.6 x 10(5) P. carinii cysts. The infection resulted in severe cough and tachypnea in Cats 1-8 injected with cortisone acetate, and a subclinical infection in Cats 9-16. In Cats 1-8, the main pathological finding was typical P. carinii pneumonia, but there only was slight swelling of the lungs in Cats 9-16.
十四只被困在房屋内或房屋附近的小鼠感染了卡氏肺孢子虫，并通过注射醋酸可的松6周来促使肺炎的形成。然后，通过注射含有1.3×10⁵至2.6×10⁵个卡氏肺孢子虫包囊的小鼠肺匀浆，使16只猫感染卡氏肺孢子虫。感染导致注射醋酸可的松的1 - 8号猫出现严重咳嗽和呼吸急促，而9 - 16号猫则为亚临床感染。在1 - 8号猫中，主要病理表现为典型的卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎，而在9 - 16号猫中，肺部仅有轻微肿胀。
