A 35-year-old narcomaniac (drug abuser) with a history of HTV-infection died at the hospital. A post-mortem revealed that both lungs were dense, dark-red-grey color, with little air. Histological study showed that interalveolar septs were infiltrated by lymphocytes. Some alveolocytes were transformed to the big cells, with a centrally located round nucleus with a light rim of cytoplasm (an owls eye). What opportunistic infection caused pneumonia in that case?
