    • Association of Primary Pneumocystis carinii Infection and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome 
      Vargas Munita, Sergio; Ponce, Carolina A.; Hughes, Walter T.; Wakefield, Ann E.; Weitz, Juan C.; Donoso, Sergio; Ulloa, Ana V.; Madrid, Patricio; Gould, Stephen; Latorre, Juan J.; Ávila, Ricardo; Benveniste, Samuel; Gallo, Miriam; Belletti, José; López, René (Univ Chicago, 1999)
      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 ...
    • Distribution of pneumocystis carinii f. sp. hominis types in the lung of a child dying of pneumocystis pneumonia 
      Ambrose, Helen E.; Ponce, Carolina A.; Wakefield, Ann E.; Miller, Robert F.; Vargas Munita, Sergio (Oxford University Press, 2001)
      Pneumocystis f. sp. hominis causes pneumonia in immunocompromised persons. In order to determine the types and distribution of P. carinii organisms within a single human lung, multiple samples were obtained from the lung ...
    • High prevalence of Pneumocystis jirovecii dihydropteroate synthase gene mutations in patients with a first ... 
      Ponce, Carolina A.; Chabé, Magali; George, Claudio; Cárdenas, Alejandra; Durán, Luisa; Guerrero, Julia; Bustamante, Rebeca; Matos, Olga; Huang, Laurence; Miller, Robert F.; Vargas, Sergio L. (American Society for Microbiology, 2017)
      © 2017 American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.Mutations in the dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) gene of Pneumocystis jirovecii are associated with the failure of sulfa prophylaxis. They can develop by selection ...
    • Pneumocystis colonization in older adults and diagnostic yield of single versus paired noninvasive respiratory ... 
      Vargas Munita, Sergio; Pizarro, Patricia; López Vieyra, Mónica; Neira Avilés, Patricia; Bustamante, Rebeca; Ponce, Carolina A. (Univ Chicago, 2010)
      The presence of Pneumocystis was assessed in oropharyngeal wash specimens from 110 adults (median age, 76 years; age range, 69–95 years), 66 of whom had a paired nasal swab specimen. Pneumocystis jirovecii DNA was ...
    • Progression of type 2 helper T celletype inflammation and airway remodeling in a rodent model of naturally ... 
      Iturra, Pablo; Rojas, Diego A.; Pérez, Francisco J.; Méndez, Andrea; Ponce, Carolina A.; Bonilla, Paula; Bustamante, Rebeca; Rodríguez, Héctor; Beltrán, Caroll J.; Vargas, Sergio L. (Elsevier INC, 2018)
      Subclinical primary Pneumocystisinfection is the most common pulmonary infection in early infancy, making it important to determine whether it damages the lung. Pneumocystis peaks at 2 to 5 months of age, when respiratory ...
    • Search for Primary Infection by Pneumocystis carinii in a Cohort of Normal, Healthy Infants 
      Vargas Munita, Sergio; Hughes, Walter T.; Santolaya de Pablo, María Elena; Ulloa, Ana V.; Ponce, Carolina A.; Cabrera, Cecilia E.; Cumsille, Francisco; Gigliotti, Francis (Unic Chicago Press, 2001)
      To determine whether Pneumocystis carinii is associated with clinical illness in the competent host, 107 normal, healthy infants were enrolled in a 2-year prospective cohort study in Chile. P. carinii was identified by ...
    • Transmission of Pneumocystis carinii DNA from a patient with P-carinii pneumonia to immunocompetent contact ... 
      Vargas Munita, Sergio; Ponce, Carolina A.; Gigliotti, Francis; Ulloa, Ana V.; Prieto, Susana; Muñoz, María P.; Hughes, Walter T. (Amer Soc Microbiology, 2000)
      The transmission of Pneumocystis carinii from person to person was studied by detecting P. carinii-specific DNA in prospectively obtained noninvasive deep-nasal-swab samples from a child with a documented P. carinii pneumonia ...
