Abstract: In recent years Pneumocystis carinii, the causative agent of interstitial plasma cell pneumonia of infants, has attracted increasing interest as an opportunistic organism associated with AIDS. In this work, P. carinii infection was induced experimentally in rats. This model seems to be suitable for studying still unelucidated questions of this protozoan infection.
