Pneumocystis carinii (PCP) pneumonia is the most common pulmonary infection associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)...Apparently it now known as Pneumocystis jeroveci....

Way back when we gave NEB's with Pentamidine for it....I don't know what they do now...

Lot's of people died from it....
