 AB    Pneumocystis carinii has been increasingly recognized as an important
       cause of opportunistic infection in immune-deficient hosts. The
       prevalence of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in Africa used to be
       neglected and underestimated due to difficult methods of isolating the
       infection. In this review, the authors discuss the nature of the
       parasite, and methods of diagnosis.
