Pneumocystis carinii Infections in HIV-Infected Children
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1991Since 1981, 1200 children with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control. Among these children, Pneumocystis carinii has been the leading cause of serious morbidity and mortality. This review discusses the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of P. carinii.

Pulmonary Pneumocystis carinii infection
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1962Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia is a grave infection which affects chiefly premature or debilitated babies below the age of 4 months. The disease occurs occasionally in older infants and is rarely seen in children and adults in whom disorders or therapeutic measures which impair body defenses are often obvious predisposing factors.

Laboratory Diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii Infection
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1982Pneumocystis is a difficult infection to diagnose, with biopsy material obtained by such procedures as open lung biopsy yielding the most reliable results. The methods used by the laboratory should be individualized to reflect its capabilities as well as the severity and rate of progression of the disease in a patient.

Similar genotypes of Pneumocystis jirovecii in different forms of Pneumocystis infection
Microbiology, 2004This study describes the genotyping of Pneumocystis jirovecii organisms isolated from three groups of patients that developed diverse forms of P. jirovecii infection; the patients were monitored in the same French hospital. Forty archival specimens from 13 adults with Pneumocystis pneumonia, eight adults colonized by P. jirovecii and 19 immunocompetent

Evaluation of quantitative FTD- Pneumocystis jirovecii kit for Pneumocystis infection diagnosis
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2017We evaluated the Fast track Diagnostics (FTD) Pneumocystis PCR kit, targeting the mitochondrial large subunit ribosomal RNA gene (mtLSU rRNA) of Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii). A hundred and thirty-three patients were prospectively enrolled. Respiratory specimens were examined using both microscopy and the PCR assay. Twenty-six patients led to P.

Pneumocystis carinii infection in melanesian children

[Pneumocystis carinii infections].
Archives francaises de pediatrie, 1986In children, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonias occur mainly in cases of congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies. Definitive diagnosis rests on the visualization of the parasites, ideally by broncho-alveolar lavage. If the lavage is negative and the patient deteriorates, an open lung biopsy is the next best diagnostic method.

Infections with Pneumocystis carinii.
National Cancer Institute monograph, 1977Studies were reviewed on attempts to apply serologic methods for the laboratoary diagnosis of pneumocystis pneumonia and for epidemiologic surveillance in outbreaks of this disease. At autopsy the parasite was found in 7.7% of patients with a clinically latent infection.
