| Popis: | Extrapulmonary involvement by Pneumocystis carinll in patients with AIDS is relatively rare [1 , 2]. This report describes the sonographic appearance in two AIDS patients receiving aerosol pentamidine prophylaxis who had multiorgan involvement by Pneumocystis carinll without clinical manifestations of pulmonary disease. Sonograms showed an unusual appearance of innumerable tiny, highly reflective foci in the liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, and mesenteric lymph nodes. |
