我们报告了我们在50名患有艾滋病的儿童中发生的54例卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎的经验，除了一例之外，所有病例都是先天性获得性感染。病史和体检结果无助于提示诊断。胸片上有明显低氧血症、弥漫性病变、血清乳酸脱氢酶升高提示诊断。由于病史的重要方面可能会被隐瞒，高度怀疑指数可能是正确诊断所必需的。呼吸机患者的死亡率为50%.儿科，1990；9：251-253.
We present our experience with 54 episodes ofPneumocystis cariniipneumonia in 50 young children with AIDS, all but one representing congenitally acquired infection. Findings at history and physical examination are not helpful in suggesting the diagnosis. The diagnosis is suggested by marked hypoxemia, diffuse disease on chest radiograph, and elevated serum LDH level. Because important aspects of the history may be withheld, a high index of suspicion may be necessary for the correct diagnosis. The mortality rate for ventilated patients was 50%.Pediatr Pulmonal 1990; 9:251–253.
