Identification of predictive markers and outcomes of late-onset Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in kidney transplant recipients.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
BACKGROUND In the era of prophylaxis, Pneumocystis pneumonia has become a late-onset opportunistic infection requiring indications for prolonged prophylaxis to be defined.

Pneumocystis Infection Outbreaks in Organ Transplantation Units in France: A Nation-Wide Survey.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
The burden of nosocomial Pneumocystis infections in transplantation units in France was evaluated through a retrospective survey. Over 12 years, 16 outbreaks occurred, including 13 among renal transplant recipients (RTRs).

Pneumocystis Pneumonia

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2011
Pneumocystis (carinii) jiroveci pneumonia can occur in immunocompromised individuals, especially hematopoietic stem and solid organ transplant recipients and those receiving immunosuppressive agents, and is the most common opportunistic infection in persons with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The Pneumocystis genus was initially

Pneumocystis carinii

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
This article covers the biology, epidemiology, and pathology of infection with Pneumocystis carinii. The clinical presentation, course, and treatment of pneumonia caused by this organism in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus is discussed.

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia: the status of Pneumocystis biochemistry

International Journal for Parasitology, 1998
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia remains a prevalent opportunistic disease among immunocompromised individuals. Although aggressive prophylaxis has decreased the number of acute P. carinii pneumonia cases, many patients cannot tolerate the available drugs, and experience recurrence of the infection, which can be fatal. It is now generally agreed that the

Pneumocystis jirovecii

2010
The ascomycete fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii (previously called Pneumocystis carinii) is the cause of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in humans, which occurs largely among people with impaired CD4+ T-lymphocyte function or numbers, e.g those infected with HIV, or organ transplant recipients taking therapeutic immunosuppressive agents.

Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonitis

Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 1984
I n a sense, opportunistic infections may serve as diagnostic indicators of certain host defects or disease processes that diminish the immune response. The myriad microbes comprising the endogenous and exogenous flora of man are rarely a threat to the health of normal individuals.

Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2010
Pneumocystis jirovecii has gained attention during the last decade in the context of the AIDS epidemic and the increasing use of cytotoxic and immunosuppressive therapies. This article summarizes current knowledge on biology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of pulmonary P jirovecii infection, with a particular focus ...
