(1986) Peptides 7, 614-622). We now confirm the heterogeneous nature of JP extracted from mouse neurointermediate pituitary glands and show that similar forms of JP are also to be found in extracts of p...

Radiologically, PJP typically appears as bilateral diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. Herein an unusual case of an immunocompetent woman developing granulomatous PJP in the absence of evident risk factors is described. PJP may be an under-recognized cause of pulmonar...
متن کاملClinical Usefulness of HRCT in Assessing the Severity of Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical relevance of thoracic high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in evaluating the severity and outcome of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in non-AIDS immunocompromised patients.We measured mean lung attenuation (MLA) and extent of increased attenuation (EIA) of PJP lesions on thoracic HRCT in 40 non-AIDS immunocompromised patients wi...
متن کاملEpidemiology and Long-Term Survival in HIV-Infected Patients With Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in the HAART Era
As highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) is widely available, the incidence of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) has decreased significantly but still represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. We analyzed all the cases with PJP in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients from 2000 to 2013 in a university hospital in Barcelona, Sp...
