Twenty-years ago, considering the host specificity of Pneumocystis species, the human-derived Pneumocystis, Pneumocystis carinii formae specialis hominis, was renamed Pneumocystis jirovecii. Pneumocystis carinii formae specialis carinii was finally renamed Pneumocystis carinii and kept for the species derived from Rattus norvegicus. P. jirovecii is now widely used by most authors. The PCP acronym that initially referred to “Pneumocystis cariniipneumonia” was contemporaneously redefined to stand for Pneumocystispneumonia in order to avoid changing the acronym of the name of the disease that clinicians have used for several decades. Using analysis of multidata bases on PubMed, we have noted a recent acceleration in the use of PJP for Pneumocystis jiroveciipneumonia, which may be grammatically correct but not in accordance with retaining PCP, which was proposed in the early 2000s. Through this reminder, in order to standardize the literature on P. jirovecii, we plead for the use of only one acronym, PCP. Lay Summary Through this reminder on Pneumocystis nomenclature, we plead for the use of only one acronym, PCP, the retention of which was proposed in the early 2000s, and which currently stands for Pneumocystispneumonia.

肺孢子菌肺炎仍能代表PCP:呼吁普遍使用仅一个缩写词

20年前,考虑到肺孢子虫属的宿主特异性,将人源肺孢子虫Pneumocystis carinii forae specialis hominis更名为Pneumocystis jirovecii。Pneumocystis carinii forae specialis carinii 最终更名为 Pneumocystis carinii,并保留为源自褐家鼠的物种。P. jirovecii 现在被大多数作者广泛使用。最初提到“Pneumocystis cariniipneumonia”的 PCP 首字母缩写词同时被重新定义为 Pneumocystispneumonia,以避免改变临床医生使用了几十年的疾病名称的首字母缩写词。使用 PubMed 上的多数据库分析,我们注意到最近使用 PJP 治疗 Pneumocystis jiroveciipneumonia 的速度加快,这在语法上可能是正确的,但与保留 PCP 不符,这是在 2000 年代初提出的。通过这个提醒,为了规范 P. jirovecii 的文献,我们恳求只使用一个首字母缩写词 PCP。总结 通过这个关于肺孢子菌命名法的提示,我们恳求只使用一个缩写词 PCP,在 2000 年代初提出保留该缩写词,目前代表 Pneumocystispneumonia。
