Greetings Card : AIDS pneumonia infection, TEM
Cards from Science Photo Library
AIDS pneumonia infection, TEM
AIDS pneumonia infection. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through Pneumocystis carinii protozoa causing pneumonia. The protozoa are crescent-shaped (red/yellow). They are in lung sputum from a patient suffering from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The AIDS virus (HIV, human immunodeficiency virus) destroys lymphocytes in the immune system that normally defend against opportunistic infections like this. Magnification: x6600 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print from Science Photo Library captures the devastating effects of AIDS pneumonia infection. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), a section through Pneumocystis carinii protozoa reveals their crescent-shaped structure, depicted in vibrant shades of red and yellow. Obtained from lung sputum of an immunosuppressed patient suffering from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), this image sheds light on the destructive nature of the AIDS virus, also known as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The HIV virus targets and destroys lymphocytes within the immune system, leaving individuals vulnerable to opportunistic infections like this parasitic pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii. The magnification level at x6600 showcases intricate details of these harmful protozoa, emphasizing their role in compromising respiratory health. As a powerful tool for medical research and diagnosis, TEM allows scientists to study histopathology and better understand diseases such as AIDS pneumonia infection. This photograph serves as a reminder of the urgent need for effective treatments and prevention strategies against HIV/AIDS. With its vivid colours and microscopic perspective, this image not only highlights the complex interplay between viruses, parasites, and our body's defense mechanisms but also underscores the importance of healthcare professionals' tireless efforts in combating infectious diseases that impact millions worldwide.
