Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy associated with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a systemic disorder primarily affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues and developing in association with another disease process. Acute pyogenic pulmonary processes (empyema, lung abscess) are occasionally accompanied by transient HOA, but reversible HOA has not previously been reported in the setting of PCP in AIDS.

Diffuse pulmonary deposition of [99mTc]methylene diphosphonate (MDP) as well as abnormalities characteristic of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy have been observed in a patient with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). The findings of the bone scan together with those in the corresponding scintigraphy, and roentgenograms of the chest and skeletal structures are presented. Parallel rever...

متن کاملSulfa Resistance and Dihydropteroate Synthase Mutants in Recurrent Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia
Failure of sulfa or sulfone prophylaxis is associated with mutations in Pneumocystis carinii gene coding for dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS). The DHPS genotype was analyzed in AIDS patients who had two separate episodes of P. carinii pneumonia. The results suggest that DHPS mutations can be selected de novo within patients by the pressure of a sulfa or sulfone drug.
متن کاملSerum titres of Pneumocystis carinii antibody in health care workers caring for patients with AIDS.
BACKGROUND Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia was thought to occur from reactivation of latent infection, but recent studies with the polymerase chain reaction have failed to detect P carinii in normal subjects. If pneumocystis pneumonia is therefore caused by new infection the source and mode of transmission of P carinii remains unknown. METHODS Natural exposure to P carinii was detected by meas...

We report a case of endobronchial Pneumocystis carinii infection in a patient who most likely had the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Although many unusual manifestations of Pneumocystis pneumonia have been reported in patients with AIDS, this is the first case of P carinii presenting as an endobronchial mass.
