Serological investigations were first conducted in apparently healthy children and adults for pneumocyctosis in the Republic of Armenia in 2001-2004. The investigations provided evidence for that some of them were found to have antibodies to Pneumocystis carinii, which is indicative of the circulation of the pathogen of P. carinii infection among the population of Armenia. There were high serological affliction rates of P. carinii among the population in the Republic of Armenia, which shows it necessary to make a detailed immunological examination in order to study the epidemiology of this infection.
