Pneumocystis cariniipneumonia has usually been reported in debilitated premature infants, and in older children and adults with impairment of their imrnunological mechanism. The authors report 3 full-term children, siblings, all of whom developed the condition immediately after birth iby normal delivery. Symptoms were of acute respiratory distress with cyanosis and lung rales and radiological signs of scattered infiltration. The first child died after 3 months, the second after 2 months, while the third lived only 3 days.Pneumocystiswas not isolated during life, but lung biopsy was not performed; at autopsy the alveoli were filled with a foamy eosinoiphilic material which showed many cysts when stained with Gomori methenamine silver.Pneumocysthwas searched for in the mother's cervical secretions but was not found.A.
