The application relates to means for diagnosing, predicting or monitoringpneumonia (PCP). The means of the application are also suitable for determining or predicting the efficacy of a drug or treatment against PCP in a human patient. The means of involve the detection and/or quantification, more particularly the quantification, of the RNA transcripts of two differentmitochondrial genes. The first of said twomitochondrial genes is thegene, the sequence of which codes for the Cytb protein or themitochondrial Small Sub-Unit (mtSSU) gene. The second of said twomitochondrial genes is agene, the sequence of which transcribes into aribosomal RNA, e.g., be the mitochondrialLarge Sub-Unit (mtLSU) gene.
