[Pneumocystis carinii infection in a pediatric tuberculosis hospital].

An outbreak of pneumocytosis in a children's tuberculosis hospital was analyzed. The infection was characterized by few signs and favourable progress. Antibiotic therapy failed. To eliminate the outbreak of pneumocystosis in the hospital it was necessary to detect all the children with pneumocystosis and carriers of pneumocysts among the patients and medical staff, to use furazolidone for etiotropic treatment of the patients with pneumocystosis and to perform one-stage sanation of the carriers with antiparasitic agents.

[Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in children with tuberculosis of the respiratory organs].

Cases of pneumocystic pneumonia were recorded among children with tuberculosis of the respiratory organs. Epidemiological and clinicoroentgenological characteristics of pneumocystic pneumonia in 15 children at the age of 3 to 15 years with tuberculosis of the respiratory organs are presented. Peculiar clinical manifestations of pneumocystic pneumonia in the children of the preschool and younger school ages were studied. Special laboratory methods and in particular the immunofluorescence test (IFT) made it possible to detect the pathogen in the contents of the respiratory tracts, as well as immunological shifts in the children.

[Study of the pathogenesis of toxoplasmosis by means of tagged atoms].

The authors' investigations showed a principal possibility of labeling toxoplasma with radioactive isotopes on condition of the administration of the latter in vivo into the donor animals infected with toxoplasmosis. The labeled atom method could be used for studying the pathogenesis of toxoplasmosis in the experimental animals, particularly at the early periods of the infectious process. The use of the labeled atom method permitted not only to confirm the results obtained by parasitological and pathomorphological studies, but also to reveal the fact of a primary parasitemia, later confirmed by biopsy. In combination with other methods of study the labeled atom method can be used for studying various aspects of the problem of toxoplasmosis, particularly of the mechanisms of transmission of the infection.
