Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia chest x ray

There is increased opacification (whiteness) in the lower lungs on both sides, characteristic of Pneumocystis pneumonia

The diagnosis can be confirmed by the characteristic appearance of the chest x-ray which shows widespread pulmonary infiltrates, and an arterial oxygen level (pO₂) strikingly lower than would be expected from symptoms.
