Abstract:
:Pneumocystis carinii infection of the liver is being reported with increasing frequency in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The clinical picture typically resembles hepatitis. We report such an occurrence in a patient with persistent elevation of alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase with relatively normal transaminases who was found to have P. carinii on antemortem liver biopsy. The differential diagnosis of abnormal alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in patients with AIDS should include P. carinii.
