 AB    Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PcP) is the most frequent cause of death
       in AIDS patients. Systemic diffusion of this microorganism is a rare
       event, mostly reported in patients receiving prophylactic aerosol
       therapy. The case here described is relative to a 29 years old man with
       AIDS, dead short by after hospital admission. Radiological and ecoscan
       examinations revealed structural subversion of liver and spleen, with
       frequent parenchymal calcification. Post mortem histological examination
       of lung, liver, spleen, heart, bone marrow, lymph nodes, kidney and
       hypophysis identified the presence of Pc, confirmed by monoclonal
       specified antibody immunostaining.
