The emergence of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia is traced from its origins as an obscure pulmonary pathogen to its place as a prominent cause of lung infection in patients who have acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Improvements in diagnosis and treatment have resulted in better care of patients with this infection. In addition, basic immunologic and molecular investigations have improved our understanding of the nature of this organism and continue to provide important questions for further research. This is a US government work. There are no restrictions on its use.
卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎的出现可追溯到其最初作为一种隐匿的肺部病原体,直至成为获得性免疫缺陷综合征患者肺部感染的主要病因。诊断和治疗方面的进展使得对这种感染患者的护理得到改善。此外,基础免疫学和分子研究增进了我们对该病原体性质的理解,并不断为进一步研究提出重要问题。这是美国政府的作品。其使用不受限制。
