Abstract excerpt

Pneumocystis carinii hominis is a ubiquitous organism that causes pneumonia in immunocompromised persons. Paired P. carinii hominis isolates from human immunodeficiency virus-infected persons who had two episodes of pneumocystosis were examined for genetic heterogeneity. Genetic variation was detected by sequence comparison of a portion of the mitochondrial ribosomal RNA gene. In 5 of 10 patients experiencing two...
