摘要
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is an important cause of acute respiratory failure in HIV-infected children. PCP may initiate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by adversely affecting surfactant physiology. We report improved pulmonary function following administration of bovine lipid extract surfactant to two infants with AIDS-related PCP/ARDS. (C) 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
