Severe distal cytomegalovirus esophagitis with aerodigestive symptoms in an immunocompetent infant
(2013)
We report a case of an immunocompetent infant, with no evidence of neurological disorders, which developed clinical manifestation of recurrent crisis of choking, dysphagia, laryngeal stridor and sub costal retractions since ...
Detection of pneumocystis carinii f. Sp hominis and viruses in presumably immunocompetent infants who died in the hospital or in the community
(UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS, 2005)
Near-Universal Prevalence of Pneumocystis and Associated Increase in Mucus in the Lungs of Infants With Sudden Unexpected Death
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Background. Pneumocystis without obvious accompanying pathology is occasionally reported in autopsied
infant lungs. Its prevalence and significance are unknown. Interestingly, this mild infection induces a strong ...
Detection of Pneumocystis carinii f. sp hominis and viruses in presumably immunocompetent infants who died in the hospital or in the community
(UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2005-06-01)
Fresh-frozen lung and tracheal-aspirate specimens obtained from 112 infants who died in Santiago, Chile, during 1998-2000 were analyzed for the presence of Pneumocystis DNA, by use of nested DNA amplification of the large ...
Predictive value of a nasopharyngeal aspirate sample for diagnosis of pulmonary Pneumocystis in infants: A prospective autopsy study
(2018)
Objectives:
This work aims to describe the value of a nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA), as a non-invasive sample, for diagnosing lung primary
infection by the fungus Pneumocystis in immunocompetent infants. Most infants develop ...
Immune system: Development and acquisition of immunological competence
Objectives: To describe the ontogeny ofthe immune system and the adaptive mechanisms ofthe
immune system in the neonatal period, with an emphasis on transplacental antibody transport
and breastfeeding.
Source of data: ...
Predictive value of non-invasive diagnosis of Primary Pneumocystis infection in infants at autopsy.
(2018)
Pneumocystis is a fungus with lung tropism that cannot be cultured microbiologically.
Most immunocompetent infants develop undetected lung primary infection
before 6 months. Diagnosis relies on Pneumocystis-DNA-amplification ...
