| Resumo |
We report a case of Pneumocystis jirovecii transmission from colonized grandparents to their infant granddaughter. Genotyping of P. jirovecii showed the same genotypes in samples from the infant and her grandparents. These findings support P. jirovecii transmission from immunocompetent carrier adults to a susceptible child. Case Reports; Journal Article;This research is part of the project “Pneumocystis Pathogenomics: Unravelling the Colonization-to-Disease Shift,” a Coordination Action supported by the European Commission (ERA-NET PathoGenoMics) This work was partially funded by the Spanish Ministry of Health (FIS 03/1743). C. dlH. and M.A.M.-C. were supported by the Spanish Ministry of Health (FIS CP-04/217 and FIS CM-04/146). |
