a
I is the first night of filtration, II is the second night, III is the third night, and IV is the fourth night.
b
ND, not done.
c
P. carinii hominis ITS genotypes in the room air, B6 and a2.
d
Only 2 h of filtration was done because of technical failure.
e
P. carinii hominis ITS genotypes in the patient were B6 and b1; in the room air, they were A1 and c1.
