      To delineate clinical and histological features of the first Pneumocystis carinii infection affecting the immunocompetent host, P. carinii-specific histological stains were performed on autopsy lung specimens from 534 ...
    • Azithromycin for treatment of severe Cryptosporidium diarrhea in two children with cancer 
      Vargas Munita, Sergio; Shenep, Jerry L.; Flynn, Patricia M.; Pui, Ching-Hon; Santana, Víctor M.; Hughes, Walter T. (Elsevier, 1993)
