Differentiation Between Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia and Colonization

Materials and Methods This study was conducted at the Department of Microbiology at the Parasitology Laboratory, our tertiary care center. It is one. Patients and Clinical Samples A total of 355 patients, including HIV positive and non-HIV immunodeficient lung infection patients, are clinically available for PCP during the 5 year study period (February 2007 to December 2012) Urged participation in the OPD. And / or was hospitalized at our tertiary medical center. Of the 355 patients, 106 were HIV positive (n = 106) and the remaining 249 were non-HIV immunodeficient patients.

The epidemic of AIDS reported Pneumocystis carinii (now considered a unique Pneumocystis carinii) as reported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention at the weekly morbidity and mortality on June 5, 1981 When started officially. Atypical alveolar pneumonia (PCP) occurred. Five homosexuals in Los Angeles. Health officials immediately noticed that nearly half of the syndrome patients were not homosexuals. People with haemophilia, heroin, Haitian immigrants, etc. reported the same opportunistic infection - some researchers call them "4H" disease

In 1982, public health authorities began using the term "acquired immune deficiency syndrome" or AIDS to explain opportunistic infections in previous healthy populations, Kaposi's sarcoma (a kind of cancer) and Pneumocystis pneumonia It was. Official follow-up (monitoring) of AIDS patients began in the United States this year. For many years, scientists have theorized the origin of HIV and the performance within that group. And most believe that HIV comes from other primates. Then in 1999 the international research team reported that they discovered the origin of HIV - 1, the major species of HIV in developed countries. A variant of the traditional chimpanzee in the equatorial region of Western Africa has been identified as the first infection source of this virus. Researchers believe that HIV - 1 will be brought into the population when hunters are exposed to infected blood.

AIDS was first observed in the United States in 1981. The first case is a drug user whose cause of immune disorder is unknown and shows symptoms of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PJP), a rare opportunistic infection known to be highly immune to the immune system, and It was a homosexual injection group. It occurred in the affected population. Shortly thereafter, another homosexual male developed rare skin cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). More cases of PJP and KS emerged, warned the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and set up a CDC Task Force to monitor outbreaks. The earliest case of AIDS described retrospectively is thought to have started in Norway in 1966.
