 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and review of the performance of atypical CT Of: Luo Ying, Chen’s first name, He Zhibing, Zhao Bai Chuan, Zuo Bin, Mafang Wei, Li Ji [Abstract] Objective Retrospective analysis of AIDS patients with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia atypical CT. Methods of 4 cases of AIDS had been diagnosed with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia combined a retrospective analysis of CT performance. Results 2 cases of lung scattered patchy nodular shadow, part of the tumor-like changes were to take away clear lung field, the edge of unclear lesions, hilar and mediastinal no obvious abnormalities, interstitial lung was not obvious, only to see the right lung in 1 case Wild flaky opacities, and 1 double-lung fields, see in fibrosis, scattered foci, near the right lung Mun sheet film. and typical CT Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in the performance quite different. Conclusions AIDS combined carinii pneumonia CT manifestations in patients with complex and varied, diagnosis should be carefully analyzed with the relevant inspection. [Keywords:] AIDS, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in X ray tomography Abstract Objective To analyze the aptical CT manifestation of pneumocystis carinii of the patients with AIDS retrospectively. Methods A retrospective analysis was made to the CT images of 4 confirmed cases with AIDS complicated with pneumocystis carinii.Results 2 cases showed dotted patchy and nodular opacities in both lungs, some of which had mass-like changes, the peripheral zones of lungs were clearly shown while the edges were not; there were no obvious abnormities in hilus and mediastinum and no obvious changes of lung strome; 1 case showed consolidation in the right lower lung and 1 case showed dotter fibrosis in the lung field and patchy shadow close to the right hilum; the CT manifestations of the 4 cases were significantly difderent from those of the typitcal manifestation of pneumocystis carinii.Conclusions The CT manife
