Apical Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS patients not receiving inhaled pentamidine prophylaxis.
Isolated apical Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia might develop in AIDS patients receiving aerosolized pentamidine prophylaxis. Demonstrated here are two cases of apical P carinii pneumonia occurring in patients not receiving inhaled pentamidine prophylaxis. Such isolated apical localization of P carinii should be differentiated from tuberculosis and fungal infection.
