Caption:
This anteroposterior (AP) chest x-ray revealed radiologic evidence of pulmonary pneumocystosis in the form of bilateral pulmonary interstitial infiltrates. This infection was due to the presence of an opportunistic fungal infection, by the fungal organism Pneumocystis jirovecii, formerly known as Pneumocystis carinii.
