incidence of Pneumocystis carinii antigenemia in asymptomatic adults with either solid tumors or hematologic malignancies is very low (all positive responses were in females), positive P. carinii antigen in absence of clinical symptoms most likely represents subclinical infection, positive antigen does not always indicate active disease but probably reflects mobilization of antigen during generalized inflammatory response or possible pulmonary insult, treatment decisions should be guided by clinical presentation and patient history, results of survey at West Tennessee Cancer Clinic and Brigham Women's Hospital, Boston
