New Techniques for Using a Saline Wash as a Diagnostic Tool for Pneumocystis Pneumonia : Studies of Human Pneumocystis Infection

This study is designed to collect respiratory secretion specimens and blood samples to facilitate studies of human Pneumocystis infection and disease, to detect genes associated with drug resistance, and to assess strain variation. This study will also contribute information about the epidemiology of Pneumocystis by assessing normal volunteers who are exposed to Pneumocystis, e.g. health professionals, and looking at strain variation among isolates from patients and, if positives are found, from healthy volunteers. This study will potentially facilitate development of techniques that can be the basis of definitive studies on diagnosis, epidemiology, and transmission of Pneumocystis..
