PCP is a pneumonia caused by the fungal organism Pneumocystis carinii (now renamed Pneumocystis jiroveci).

However, Pneumocystis carinii can cause a lung infection in in people with a weakened immune system due to any of the following conditions:

• Cancer
• Chronic use of corticosteroids or other medications that affect the immune system
• HIV/AIDS
• Solid organ and/or bone marrow transplant
