Immunopathogenesis of Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia Diagram

The following figure schemes the representation of the progression of immune-mediated lung injury during Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). It demonstrated how the host-mediated inflammatory response to infection with P.carinii determines the ultimate outcome of PCP which is hoped in leading to the development of improved therapies for the treatment of PCP.

Pneumocystitis Carinii Pneumonia Life Cycle Schematic Diagram

This picture shows a schematic view of the life cycle of P.carinii, a specific pathogen for human which caused Pneumocystis pneumonia as a form of pneumonia. Two developmental stages are the mature cyst and the trophozoite. It is not yet clear which is the main infective form responsible for the primary infection. However, it is well established that airbone transmission is the most important one. Full description can be viewed here: http…
