  • Title: [Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS patients. Aspects of clinical evolution in 37 cases].
    Author: Brechot JM, Dore MF, Capron F, Bouvet A, Waked M, Rochemaure J.
    Journal: Rev Pneumol Clin; 1989; 45(3):114-7. PubMed ID: 2587892.
    Abstract:
    This study concerns 37 cases of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS patients. The time elapsed between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositivity and the onset of pneumocystosis has been established. Three clinical types are individualized. In cases with normal X-ray films of the chest, measurement of carbon dioxide transfer capacity, always reduced, has led to a bronchoalveolar lavage which provided an early diagnosis. In spite of good response to treatment, the prognosis of pneumocystosis is poor owing to the frequency of associated diseases.
