Abstract
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia can only be diagnosed once the microorganism is demonstrated. The authors review and illustrate various staining technics, and discuss for each of them specific advantages. All samples must by systematically examined both by phase contrast microscopy and by light microscopy after Gomori-Grocott and Gram-Weigert stains. This morphological study is completed by ultrastructural photographs.
