“…Properdin and complement apparently were not representative of globulins in general; therefore, measurement of major fractions of globulin represented only an average of proteins which did not behave similarly. In contrast to data of Weimer (1), values for beta globulin in the present studyincreased as protein depletion progressed. This fraction of serum protein was the most difficult to measure, and the observed differences may be due in part to variation in defining the limits of this fraction.…”

“…They suggested that the low level of serum albumin is probably responsible, in part, for the edema which is frequently present. Similar results have been obtained experimentally in the rhesus monkey (Deo and Ramalingaswami, 1965), in pigs (Friend £t al^., 1961) and in rats (Wiemer, 1961).…”

The role of protein-calorie malnutrition in Pneumocystis carinii pneumonitis was explored with comparative studies in man and animals. Collective data from 225 cases of P carinii pneumonitis revealed mean body weights and serum protein values that were below normal. In matched comparison of 44 children with cancer and P carinii pneumonitis, serum albumin values and body weights were significantly lower than those of 44 patients with malignant neoplasms of the same type, duration, and therapy, but who did not have pneumonitis. Of 39 South African children who died with kwashiorkor, three (7.7%) were found to be infested with P carinii, whereas no organisms were found in the lungs of 21 well-nourished and geographically matched children. In Sprague\x=req-\ Dawley rats fed a 23% protein diet for normal growth, none of 15 acquired P carinii; whereas, 13 of 15 fed a protein-free diet died infested with P carinii.Pneumocystis carinii pneumonitis occurs almost exclusively in pa¬ tients with serious underlying dis¬ eases. The primary diseases include leukemia, sarcomas, Hodgkin disease, neuroblastoma, histiocytosis, multiple myeloma, Waidenstrom macroglobulinemia, thymic dysplasia, rheuma¬ toid arthritis, rheumatic fever, Schonlein-Henoch disease, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemophil¬ ia, hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia,
