Recently Pneumocystis carinii has been identified in a significant number of infants diagnosed as having died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in South America and Europe.
We examined lung sections of 79 infants who died with a diagnosis of SIDS in Rochester, NY, and Connecticut for the presence of P. carinii.
Organisms with a characteristic silver stain appearance for P. carinii were identified in 14% of the lung sections.
These data suggest that a possible link between some cases of SIDS and infection with P. carinii should be further evaluated and that infection of young infants may serve as an important reservoir for human P. carinii.
最近在南美洲和欧洲，大量被诊断死于婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）的婴儿体内发现了卡氏肺孢子虫。
我们检查了纽约州罗切斯特市和康涅狄格州79例被诊断为死于SIDS的婴儿的肺切片，以确定是否存在卡氏肺孢子虫。
在14%的肺切片中发现了具有卡氏肺孢子虫特征性银染外观的生物体。
这些数据表明，SIDS的某些病例与卡氏肺孢子虫感染之间的可能联系应进一步评估，并且幼儿感染可能是人类卡氏肺孢子虫的重要储存宿主。
