Overview of Pneumocystis jiroveci Pneumonia. Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP), formerly known as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), is the most common opportunistic infection in persons with HIV infection.he recommended duration of treatment for PJP is 21 days in patients with HIV infection and 14 days in all other patients. Patients infected with HIV tend to have a higher organism burden and respond to treatment slower than patients without HIV infection and therefore require a longer duration of therapy.
The polyps in the stomach and intestines are a special type called hamartomas. They can cause problems like bleeding or blockage of the intestines. People with PJS can also have dark freckle-like spots on the lips, inner cheeks and other areas. PJS can increase the risk of many types of cancer, including small intestine adenocarcinoma. This syndrome is caused by mutations in the gene STK1.
