Comparative Evaluation Between the RealStarPneumocystis jiroveciiPCR Kit and the AmpliSensPneumocystis jirovecii(carinii)-FRT PCR Kit for DetectingP. jiroveciiin Non-HIV Immunocompromised Patients

Annals of Laboratory Medicine, 2019
Real-time PCR is more sensitive than microscopic examination for detecting Pneumocystis jirovecii. We compared the performance of two assays for detecting P. jirovecii DNA: the RealStar Pneumocystis jirovecii PCR Kit 1.0 CE (Altona Diagnostics, Hamburg, Germany) and the AmpliSens Pneumocystis jirovecii (carinii)-FRT PCR kit (InterLabService Ltd ...
