Surfactant Protein D-Mediated Aggregation of Pneumocystis carinii Impairs Phagocytosis by Alveolar Macrophages

Pneumocystis carinii remains an important and potentially fatal cause of opportunistic pneumonia. Animal studies reveal that substantial quantities of surfactant protein D (SP-D) accumulate in the airspaces during P. carinii pneumonia and are particularly abundant in aggregates of organisms. Due to...
