Abstract

Contemporary aspects of the problem of diseases caused by single-celled yeast fungi Pneumocystis jirovecii
are examined. Pneumocystic infection affects children and adults with various manifestations of immunodeficiency,
is a HIV-associated infection. Contemporary epidemiologic characteristics of this infection are
presented, data on etiology, pathogenesis and clinical presentation of pneumocystosis are provided, problems
of laboratory diagnostics are elucidated. Morphologic, immunobiologic and molecular-genetic methods of
detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii causative agent are described.
