Polymerase chain reaction analysis, direct DNA sequencing, and histological staining were used to determine whether Pneumocystis jirovecii was present in lung tissue specimens obtained, at autopsy, from 58 infants without identifiable immunodeficiency. The results of genotyping of these specimens were compared with the results of genotyping of specimens obtained from 384 human immunodeficiency virus...
