SUMMARY Two sterols in autopsied whole lung specimens obtained from Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia patients were detected by gas-liquid chromatography and their structures were elucidated by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. Both were in the lanosterol series; the C31 sterol, with a methyl group at C-24, was identified as euphorbol, and the more abundant C32 sterol, with an ethyl group at C-24, is given the trivial name pnemocysterol.
