 AB    The frequency of PCP among adult Danish AIDS patients notified in
       1988-93 was higher among patients tested HIV-positive less than 4 months
       prior to AIDS than among those known to be positive for > 1 year. Among
       the latter, the proportion with PCP decreased significantly over the
       period, from 45.3% in 1988 to 22.0% in 1993, while no such trend was
       found among patients tested positive for HIV less than 4 months before
       AIDS was diagnosed. The incidence of PCP as an AIDS-defining disease has
       decreased, most likely due to the use of PCP prophylaxis.
