Extrapulmonary Pneumocystis carinii infections are rare in comparison to other opportunistic infections in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In recent years, however, the number of reported cases of extrapulmonary pneumocystosis has increased. It is therefore important for physicians to recognize the various presentations of extrapulmonary P carinii infection. This article reports a case in which the initial clinically detected AIDS-related infection was extrapulmonary P carinii infection of the small intestine diagnosed after perforation of the jejunum.
与获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)患者的其他机会性感染相比,肺外卡氏肺孢子菌感染较为罕见。然而,近年来,肺外肺孢子菌病的报告病例数有所增加。因此,医生认识肺外卡氏肺孢子菌感染的各种表现很重要。本文报告了一例病例,最初临床检测到的与艾滋病相关的感染是小肠的肺外卡氏肺孢子菌感染,该感染在空肠穿孔后被诊断出来。
