Detection of pneumocystis DNA in nasopharyngeal aspirates of leukaemic infants with pneumonia.

C G Richards1, A E Wakefield, C D Mitchell.   

Abstract

The technique of polymerase chain reaction was used to detect Pneumocystis carinii DNA in nasopharyngeal secretions of three infants with leukaemia who had the clinical features of P carinii pneumonia. The use of this non-invasive technique allowed the early diagnosis and treatment of these infants whose protocols did not include the use of prophylactic co-trimoxazole.
