Experimental Pulmonary Pneumocystis Carinii Infection in Rabbits
Moderate to marked interstitial pneumonitis with many Pneumocystis organisms was found in rabbits treated with cortisone and antibiotics and instilled intranasally with a suspension of lung tissue from either a patient or a rabbit with this infection. Organisms and pulmonary lesions of similar severity and frequency were present in controls treated in the same manner but instilled with either s...

Aerosolised pentamidine as prophylaxis against P carinii pneumonia was ineffective at suppressing dissemination. The knowledge that extrapulmonary infection can occur has implications for the detection and treatment of, and prophylaxis aga...
متن کاملGrowth of Pneumocystis Carinii in Axenic Culture
SUMMARY In this research, which was done for two years, we investigated various liquid and solid media without feeder ceells, for the ability to support growth of P. carinii. Data obtained from counting the organisms nuclei showed that, addition of Cycloheximide, penicillin, & streptomycin to neopeptoneN-Acetyle Glucoseamine (N.P.G. medium) can provides growth requirements of organism in its...

Although Giemsa staining has been routinely used for the detection of trophozoites and intracystic bodies in smears of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) from patients with Pneumocystis cariniipneumonia, it does not normally stain the cyst wall. For detection ofthe cysts other stains such as toluidine Blue 'O' and methenamine silver must be used as well. Sulphation of smears before staining wit...
