Abstract:
The author reviews the problem of pneumocystic pneumonia from the paediatric aspect. Assessment of the cause of interstitial plasmacellular pneumonia is in the author's opinion one of the greatest discoveries of our medicine and parasitology in this century. Pneumocystic pneumonia is in recent years of special importance in particular in treatment of impaired immunity.
