Popis: Because of the prospective nature of our studies we have had the opportunity to examine a total of 19 patients with pneumonitis associated with Pneumocystis carinii antigenemia. In order to respond to Dr Meuwissen's comments we elected to analyze the data from the total group rather than from the original nine. Two previous studies clearly show that at least 75% of presumably healthy children and adult blood donors have antibody to P carinii. This infers that infection occurred early in life.
