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.enFemeninoHumanosInmunocompetenciaLactanteMediana EdadPneumocystis jiroveciiNeumonía por PneumocystisPortador SanoMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Phenomena and Processes::Immune System Phenomena::ImmunocompetenceMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::InfantMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::Adult::Middle AgedMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Fungi::Ascomycota::Pneumocystis::Pneumocystis jiroveciiMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Bacterial Infections and Mycoses::Mycoses::Lung Diseases, Fungal::Pneumonia, PneumocystisMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Public Health::Carrier Stateresearch article18598635open access10.3201/eid1407.0714311080-6059PMC2600334
