Comparative genomics suggests that the human pathogenic fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii acquired obligate biotrophy through gene loss. [PDF]

, 2014
Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungal parasite that colonizes specifically humans and turns into an opportunistic pathogen in immunodeficient individuals. The fungus is able to reproduce extracellularly in host lungs without eliciting massive cellular death.

Clinical Applications of the ARDSVet (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndromes in Veterinary Medicine) Definitions in Small and Large Animal Patients

Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 339-345, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective To illustrate the use of the ARDSVet (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndromes in Veterinary Medicine) definitions in small and large animal patients using a case‐based approach. Etiology Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in veterinary patients is triggered by a wide range of clinical insults. These include probable risk factors

Improved detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii in upper and lower respiratory tract specimens from children with suspected pneumocystis pneumonia using real-time PCR: a prospective study [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a major cause of hospitalization and mortality in HIV-infected African children. Microbiologic diagnosis relies predominantly on silver or immunofluorescent staining of a lower respiratory tract (LRT) specimens

Safety of sulfamethoxazole–trimethoprim for the treatment of bacterial infection in outpatient settings: A systematic review and meta‐analysis with active comparator disproportionality analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 91, Issue 6, Page 1632-1648, June 2025.
Aims Sulfamethoxazole–trimethoprim (SMX‐TMP) is a widely used antibiotic for treating bacterial infections, but its safety in adult outpatients remains understudied. This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluated the safety profile of SMX‐TMP and identified critical research gaps.

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

Diagnosis and management of Pneumocystis jirovecii infection [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction: Pneumocystis jirovecii is a ubiquitous fungus, which causes pneumonia in humans. Diagnosis was hampered by the inability to culture the organism, and based on microscopic examination of respiratory samples or clinical presentation.
