[Altered morphopathological aspects of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia].
The present paper reports a study on 27 children who died of interstitial pneumonia due to Pneumocystis carinii in the clinics of pediatrics, Cluj, in the course of 3 years (1971-1973). The incidence was 10% of the children who died from acute pneumonia. The authors show the morphopathologic possibilities of identifying the pictures modified by plasmocytic pneumonia due to association of the disease with bacterial and viral infections. These cases represent a quarter of the authors' cases. The importance of being acquainted with these altered pictures, illustrated in the text, is emphasized.
