Risk for Pneumocystis carinii Transmission among Patients with Pneumonia: a Molecular Epidemiology Study

Risk for Pneumocystis carinii Transmission among Patients with Pneumonia: a Molecular Epidemiology Study

We report a molecular typing and epidemiologic analysis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) cases diagnosed in our geographic area from 1990 to 2000. Our analysis suggests that transmission from patients with active PCP to susceptible persons caused only a few, if any, PCP cases in our setting.
