Identification of Single-Base Mismatches in Pneumocystis jirovecii Isolated from Iranian TB positive Patients by CSGE Heteroduplex

, 2017
Pneumocystis jirovecii is an opportunistic fungus, which causes Pneumocystis pneumonia (PJP) in immunocompromised, COPD and TB positive patients with a high rate of colonization, morbidity and mortality. Dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) gene mutations are

DETECTION OF PNEUMOCYSTIS CARINII (JIROVECI) FROM IRAQI PATIENTS WITH LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS

The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: Pneumocystis carinii is one of the rare fungi which cause pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. It is important to detect the fungus from the clinical specimens of suspected patients by laboratory tests. Objective:To identify Pneumocystis

Reduced Pathogen‐Specific T Cell Response With BCMA‐Targeted T Cell‐Engaging Therapy to Multiple Myeloma

eJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bispecific antibody (BsAb) treatment can lead to increased infections in myeloma patients. Methods We used ELISpot and flow cytometry to test the T cell response to BCMA‐CD3‐bispecific T cell engager (BiTE) pavurutamab (PAV) and BCMA‐expressing myeloma cells after in vitro culture.

Pneumocystis species, co-evolution and pathogenic power

, 2008
International audienceThe genus Pneumocystis comprises uncultured, highly diversified microfungal organisms able to attach specifically to type-1 alveolar epithelial cells and to proliferate in pulmonary alveoli provoking severe pneumonitis.

The Pneumocystis life cycle [PDF]

, 2009
First recognised as "schizonts" of Trypanosoma cruzi , Pneumocystis organisms are now considered as part of an early-diverging lineage of Ascomycetes.

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in solid organ transplant recipients: a descriptive analysis for the Swiss Transplant Cohort. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND Descriptive data on Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTr) in the era of routine Pneumocystis-prophylaxis are lacking. METHODS All adult SOTr between 2008-2016 were included.

Development of Highly Efficient Universal Pneumocystis Primers and Their Application in Investigating the Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Pneumocystis in Wild Hares and Rabbits

Journal of Fungi
Despite its ubiquitous infectivity to mammals with strong host specificity, our current knowledge about Pneumocystis has originated from studies of merely 4% of extant mammalian species. Further studies of Pneumocystis epidemiology across a broader range

Repeated Response to Daratumumab in Refractory MGUS‐Associated Pure Red Cell Aplasia Persisting After Allogeneic Transplantation: A Case Report

eJHaem, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is usually managed as a disorder driven predominantly by cellular immune mechanisms, but plasma cell‐directed therapy may be relevant in selected cases associated with monoclonal gammopathy. We report a case of refractory PRCA associated with IgG‐kappa monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). A 64‐

Diagnosis of the primary infection by pneumocystis in autopsy specimens from two infants using lung impression smears (touch preps)

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2014
The primary infection by Pneumocystis of normal, healthy infants is asymptomatic and goes undiagnosed. Microscopy diagnosis of Pneumocystis was sought in lung impression smears (LIS) from two ~3-month-old infants dying unexpectedly in the community ...
