Abstract: We find conditions under which a quotient ${C^{\ast}}$ -algebra of a purely infinite ${C^{\ast}}$ -algebra becomes purely infinite. S. Zhang proved that if is a $\sigma$ -unital, simple, purely infinite ${C^{\ast}}$ -algebra, then a hereditary ${C^{\ast}}$ -subalgebra ${A_x}$ is a stable or unital for each of ${A_ + }$ . We prove the converse for a completely $\sigma$ -unital infinite simple ${C^{\ast}}$ -algebra.
