Abstract
I read with much interest the article by Serlin and coworkers on rheumatic pneumonia, which appeared in the December 1975 issue of Pediatrics (56:1075, 1975). The latter half of the clinical course as well as the pathological findings were suggestive of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia1,2 as described in immunosuppressed patients. The patient was receiving substantial hydrocortisone therapy, which would put him at risk for this infectious complication. It would be helpful to know if the authors stained lung sections with Gomori methenamine silver stain for the presence of Pneumocystis organisms.
