Pneumocystis jirovecii colonization in chronic pulmonary disease [PDF]

Parasite, 2011
Pneumocystis jirovecii causes pneumonia in immunosuppressed individuals. However, it has been reported the detection of low levels of Pneumocystis DNA in patients without signs and symptoms of pneumonia, which likely represents colonization.

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

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 ...

Climate and genotypes of Pneumocystis jirovecii [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2007
This study explored whether seasonal and/or climatic factors influenced detection of specific genotypes of Pneumocystis jirovecii. Between 1989 and 2001, 155 isolates of P. jirovecii were obtained from patients undergoing bronchoscopic alveolar lavage. For each isolate, the month and climatic conditions were noted. Genotypes of P.

Pneumocystis jirovecii Transmission from Immunocompetent Carriers to Infant [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
We report a case of Pneumocystis jirovecii transmission from colonized grandparents to their infant granddaughter. Genotyping of P. jirovecii showed the same genotypes in samples from the infant and her grandparents. These findings support P.

Increasing Pneumocystis pneumonia, England, UK, 2000-2010. [PDF]

, 2013
After an increase in the number of reported cases of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in England, we investigated data from 2000-2010 to verify the increase. We analyzed national databases for microbiological and clinical diagnoses of P.

SpellingPneumocystis jirovecii

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To the Editor: Our 2002 article in Emerging Infectious Diseases about nomenclature changes for organisms in the genus Pneumocystis (1) has been widely cited and probably will remain a source for persons seeking information about this subject. Therefore, we need to correct an error in 1 of the species names presented in our article and in the 1999 ...
