title: Pneumonia in AIDS patients in the critical care unit.
abstract: Despite advances in prophylaxis and the reduction of mortality and morbidity resulting from highly active antiretroviral therapy, neumocystis pneumonia remains a common problem in HIV-infected patients. There are many possible causes for the continued prevalence of this condition. This article examines the characteristics, and some of the complex causes of P. carinii pneumonia in AIDS patients.
