title: [Diagnosis and therapy of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in a patient with AIDS].
abstract: The clinical, immunological and histological findings in a patient suffering the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia are discussed. At the time of diagnosis HTLV III antibodies were not demonstrable. Treatment with trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole achieved a remission lasting 7 months so far. HTLV III antibodies became demonstrable after 5 months; the markedly decreased Helper/Suppressor ratio of 0.30 remained unchanged.
