Molecular diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia.
The detection of Pneumocystis DNA in clinical specimens by using PCR assays is leading to important advances in Pneumocystis pneumonia (PcP) clinical diagnosis, therapy and epidemiology. Highly sensitive and specific PCR tools improved the clinical diagnosis of PcP allowing an accurate, early diagnosis of Pneumocystis infection, which should lead to a decreased duration from onset of symptoms t...

Pneumocystis canis is a potential cause of life-threatening interstitial fungal pneumonia in dogs. It is seen almost exclusively in two canine breeds, miniature Dachshunds and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS). Historically, Australian veterinarianshadakey role in thedocumentation of this entity and its conspicuous breed associations. Affected Dachshunds and CKCS are likely to have an inher...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia
A diagnosis of PneumocysHs carinii pneumonia was made in seven patients by the technique of transbronchoscopic lung biopsy. In this technique, flexible forceps are inserted through a rigid broncbosrrope. No false wgathre re& were obtained, that is, no other cases of pneumocysHs pneumonia were discovered by any additional technique, including autopsy, among a group of 525 patients with difiuse p...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
Although reactivation of latent infections has long been considered the primary explanation for PCP in immunosuppressed patients, over the years a steady flow of reports has described clusters of PCP cases (2). In addition, recent studies have suggested that the duration of latency is very limited, i.e., usually less than 1 year (3,4). Still other studies have demonstrated genetic variation in ...

nuclei of the brainstem. In this theory, she attributes to the dorsal noradrenergic (locus coeruleus) system a role in processing exteroceptive cues; that is, enabling the animal to respond to significant environmental information. Alternatively, in this theory, the ventral system (non-locus coeruleus), which provides significant noradrenergic input to the hypothalamus, plays an interoceptive r...
