Noninvasive Method for Monitoring Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
The progression of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia was temporally monitored and quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction of P. carinii–specific DNA in oral swabs and lung homogenates from infected rats. DNA levels correlated with the number of P.
