Abstract excerpt
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia is an oftentimes fatal infection for hosts in an immunocompromised state. The disease occurs in a wide variety of mammals, but the etiologic agent of this disease has been referred to as P. carinii regardless of the host species. However, even within a single host s...
