Absolute lymphocyte count as a predictor of Pneumocystis pneumonia in patients previously unknown to have HIV [PDF]
Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2012 This is a retrospective review of patients admitted to an inner city community hospital with community-acquired pneumonia who were ultimately diagnosed with AIDS and Pneumocystis. Absolute lymphocyte count in our hospital is available immediately.

Growth and Airborne Transmission of Cell-Sorted Life Cycle Stages of Pneumocystis carinii
PLoS ONE, 2013 Pneumocystis organisms are airborne opportunistic pathogens that cannot be continuously grown in culture. Consequently, the follow-up of Pneumocystis stage-to-stage differentiation, the sequence of their multiplication processes as well as formal ...

Seasonal dynamics of Pneumocystis carinii in the field vole, Microtus agrestis, and in the common shrew, Sorex araneus, in Finland [PDF]
, 1999 Seasonal dynamics of Pneumocystis carinii in the field vole, Microtus agrestis, and in the common shrew, Sorex araneus, were investigated in southern and central Finland by microscopical examination of methenamine silver-stained tissue sections.

Dynamics of Pneumocystis carinii air shedding during experimental pneumocystosis.
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011 To better understand the diffusion of Pneumocystis in the environment, airborne shedding of Pneumocystis carinii in the surrounding air of experimentally infected rats was quantified by means of a real-time polymerase chain reaction assay, in parallel ...

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.
