Risk factors for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in kidney transplantation recipients [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is a potentially life-threatening infection that occurs in immunocompromised patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for PJP in kidney transplantation recipients.

Granulomatous PJP presenting as a solitary lung nodule in an immune competent female

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2014
Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) opportunistically targets immunosuppressed patients, most notably those with advanced HIV/AIDS. Radiologically, PJP typically appears as bilateral diffuse pulmonary infiltrates.

PJP granuloma in an Immune competent host: Case report and literature review

IDCases, 2017
PJP (Pneumocystis jirovecii) is a fungal agent by taxonomy. Ones considered a protozoan, it is now recognized as fungi based on ribosomal RNA and other gene sequence homologies, the composition of their cell walls, and structure of key enzymes. This organism generally affects immunocompromised hosts with a CD4 count

Clinical Manifestations and Outcomes of Renal Transplantation Patients With Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia and Cytomegalovirus Co-infection

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundPneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection are common opportunistic infections among renal transplantation (RT) recipients, and both can increase the risk of graft loss and patient mortality after RT.

Risk factors associated with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in non-HIV immunocompromised patients and co-pathogens analysis by metagenomic next-generation sequencing

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023
Background Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is one of the most common opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. However, the accurate prediction of the development of PJP in non-HIV immunocompromised patients is still unclear. Methods
