High-resolution CT in the evaluation of clinically suspected Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS patients with normal, equivocal, or nonspecific radiographic findings.

Abstract

HRCT may allow exclusion of PCP in patients with findings that are normal, equivocal, or nonspecific on chest radiographs. Empiric therapy or immediate bronchoscopy can be avoided in many patients on the basis of the HRCT findings.
