The diagnosis of Pneumocystis Pneumonia can be established by indirect immunofluorescence test performed on the sera of the patients. This investigation has proved to be valid since it gives 50 p.cent of positive results in 16 confirmed cases. The false negative results can be imputed in some patients, to the extreme severity of the immune deficiency.

D011020	Pneumonia, Pneumocystis	A pulmonary disease in humans occurring in immunodeficient or malnourished patients or infants, characterized by DYSPNEA, tachypnea, and HYPOXEMIA. Pneumocystis pneumonia is a frequently seen opportunistic infection in AIDS. It is caused by the fungus PNEUMOCYSTIS JIROVECII. The disease is also found in other MAMMALS where it is caused by related species of Pneumocystis.
