A member asked:
How common is it for somebody to get pneumocystis infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normally uncommon: This is generally a disease which affects immunocompromised individuals. Patients with hiv-aids, those with certain malignancies, or other conditions in which normal host-defenses have been diminished are most affected. Seldom seen in "normal" individuals.
