Pneumocystis jiroveci infection with cavitation Case 279 (9822400114)
Description:
Description: Cavitation or cyst formation is well documented but uncommon in Pneumocystis infection of the lungs. In this image there is a small cavity with an irregular lining consisting mostly of foamy exudate containing the Pneumocystis organisms. The mechanism of cavity/cyst formation in Pneumocystis infection is not well understood. The lung parenchyma exhibits patchy pale consolidation reflecting alveolar filling by foamy exudate containing the Pneumocystis organisms. Date: 19 September 2013, 13:56.
