    Author: O'Doherty MJ, Bateman NT.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; 1991 May; 45(5):277-8, 280, 283. PubMed ID: 1676607.
    Abstract:
    Although Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) can occur in any patient with severe impairment of immunity, there has been a sharp rise in incidence with the spread of human immunodeficiency virus through the USA and Western Europe, where nearly 80% of patients with HIV infection have at least one episode of PCP during their lifetime (Murray et al, 1984).
