Pneumocystis Jirovecii (carinii) pneumonia causing lung cystic lesions and pneumomediastinum in non-HIV infected patient [PDF]
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018 Pneumomediastinum is a rare, potentially life-threatening complication of PCP that occurs in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients. We are presenting a rare case pneumomediastinum caused by pneumocystis Jirovecii pneumonia in a HIV-negative patient with

Epidemiology of Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia and (Non-)use of Prophylaxis
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Objectives:Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is an AIDS-defining illness. In patients with HIV, the benefit of PCP prophylaxis is well-defined when the CD4 T-cell count decreases below 200 cells/μL.

Kinetic and Structural Analysis for Potent Antifolate Inhibition of Pneumocystis jirovecii, Pneumocystis carinii, and Human Dihydrofolate Reductases and Their Active-Site Variants [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2013 ABSTRACT A major concern of immunocompromised patients, in particular those with AIDS, is susceptibility to infection caused by opportunistic pathogens such as Pneumocystis jirovecii , which is a leading cause of pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. We report the first kinetic and structural data for 2,

Comparative genomics suggests that the fungal pathogen pneumocystis is an obligate parasite scavenging amino acids from its host's lungs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungus causing severe pneumonia in immuno-compromised patients. Progress in understanding its pathogenicity and epidemiology has been hampered by the lack of a long-term in vitro culture method.

pneumonia in pediatric patients: an analysis of 15 confirmed consecutive cases during 14 years [PDF]
Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2016 PurposePneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia occurs in various immunocompromised patients. Despite the prophylaxis strategies in clinical practice, certain patients develop P. jirovecii pneumonia. This study was performed to investigate pediatric cases with P.
