Nosocomial Pneumocystis jirovecii infections
Parasite, 2008 Airborne transmission of Pneumocystis sp. from host to host has been demonstrated in rodent models and several observations suggest that interindividual transmission occurs in humans.

Diagnosis and management ofPneumocystis jiroveciiinfection [PDF]
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2017 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. New assays can assist in the diagnosis and even aid with the emergence of resistant infections.

Dihydropteroate Synthase Gene Mutations in Pneumocystis and Sulfa Resistance [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) remains a major cause of illness and death in HIV-infected persons. Sulfa drugs, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and dapsone are mainstays of PCP treatment and prophylaxis.

Pneumocystis jiroveciiin General Population [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 The possible presence of Pneumocystis among healthy adults was examined by detecting Pneumocystis jirovecii-specific DNA in prospectively obtained oropharyngeal wash samples from 50 persons without underlying lung disease or immunosuppression. Pneumocystis carriage, defined by detecting Pneumocystis DNA by nested polymerase chain reaction in 2 ...

Vertical Transmission ofPneumocystis jiroveciiin Humans [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 To the Editor: Currently, animal and human studies favor an airborne transmission pattern for Pneumocystis pneumonia (1). However, the early age of acquisition of Pneumocystis spp. in different mammals, including humans, warrants study of vertical/transplacental transmission as an additional route of transmission of this stenoxenic microorganism ...

Apparent Absence of Pneumocystis jirovecii in Healthy Subjects [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2006 We prospectively investigated 30 healthy subjects with normal CD4+ T cell counts in blood and normal findings of spirometry and chest radiography for the presence of Pneumocystis jirovecii, by performing polymerase chain reaction on sputum specimens.
