  • Title: [Indirect immunofluorescence with monoclonal antibodies in the diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii. Preliminary report].
    Author: Weitz JC, Astorga B.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 1991 Mar; 119(3):293-4. PubMed ID: 1842123.
    Abstract:
    We compared traditional methods based on argentic metamine and toluidine blue staining vs recently introduce techniques based on immunofluorescence for monoclonal antibodies in the diagnosis of P. carinii. Fifty samples were analyzed: 29 (58%) were negative by all method. Of the remaining 21.72% were positive for immunofluorescence, 67% for argentic and 48% for toluidine blue staining. Thus, immunofluorescence techniques represent an improvement in the ability to diagnose infection by P carinii.
