A 34-year-old HIV-positive man without previous opportunistic
infections presents complaining of dyspnea with daily activity. He
states that he has had a mild cough and fever but denies having had
chills, sputum production, or chest discomfort. Physical examination
is remarkable for oral thrush and a few small, nontender cervical
lymph nodes. A chest x-ray film reveals bilateral interstitial
infiltrates, and bronchoalveolar lavage reveals small silver-staining
cysts. In which other patient population in the U.S. is this organism
a frequent cause of a life-threatening pneumonia?
A. Bone marrow transplant patients
B. Hospitalized adults on antibiotic therapy
C. Late-term pregnant women
D. Normal adults in periods of stress
E. Premature infants
F. Preschool children
G. Sexually active adolescents
H. Third-trimester fetuses
