A New Name for Pneumocystis from Humans and New Perspectives on the Host-Pathogen Relationship

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
The disease known as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is a major cause of illness and death in persons with impaired immune systems. While the genus Pneumocystis has been known to science for nearly a century, understanding of its members remained ...

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 12, Page 781-889, December 2025.
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Co‐Occurring Hybrid Zones of House Mouse Parasites Pneumocystis murina and Syphacia obvelata Using Genome Polarisation

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Parasites are expected to hybridise in similar ways to free‐living organisms, although this may be modified by their reduced genome architecture. Recombinant strains and taxa of hybrid origin can be studied in nature where hosts come into secondary contact. Here we apply genome‐wide analysis to parasites from a contact previously characterised

Genetic Variation in Pneumocystis carinii Isolates from Different Geographic Regions: Implications for Transmission

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000
To study transmission patterns of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in persons with AIDS, we evaluated P. carinii isolates from patients in five U.S.

Treatment of Severe Adenovirus Infection With HAdV‐B21 in a Young Obese Male With Normal Immunity

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Adenovirus infections are usually mild, but rare serotypes like “HAdV‐B21” can cause severe pneumonia even in healthy individuals. We report a 32‐year‐old immunocompetent obese male who developed life‐threatening HAdV‐B21 pneumonia (PaO2/FiO2 62 mmHg), requiring mechanical ventilation.

Machine Learning Algorithms for Adverse Drug Reactions Prediction and Identifying Its Determinants Among HIV Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy in the University of Gondar Comprehensive and Specialized Hospital, in Amhara Region, Ethiopia

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Harmful and unexpected reactions to drugs given at standard dosages using the appropriate administration technique for the goals of therapy, diagnosis, or prevention are known as adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Every medicine has the potential to produce both favorable and unfavorable outcomes.

A case of idiosyncratic drug‐induced agranulocytosis because of sulbactam/ampicillin

Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 479-484, September 2025.
We report a case of agranulocytosis caused by sulbactam/ampicillin. During antimicrobial therapy, close monitoring of total white blood cell counts is essential. Abstract Idiosyncratic drug‐induced agranulocytosis is a rare but life‐threatening condition that requires immediate medical intervention.

Caspofungin Combined With TMP/SMZ in Treatment of Intractable Acute Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in Renal Transplant Recipients: Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is a potential life‐threatening opportunistic infection that predominantly affects immunocompromised individuals, such as those with human immunodeficiency virus or organ transplant recipients. The treatment of PJP, particularly severe cases, remains challenging, as standardized treatment therapies often ...

AIDS-Related Extrapulmonary Pneumocystis carinii Infection Presenting as a Solitary Rectal Ulcer

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1996
Extrapulmonary infection with Pneumocystis carinii, although uncommon, is increasingly recognized. Use of aerosolized pentamidine versus a systemic medication is thought to be a contributing factor due to the low concentrations of drug that are incapable
