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 ...

A Rare Case of Splenic Pneumocystis jirovecii in a HIV‐Positive Patient

Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Introduction. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive individuals with the CD4 count less than 200 cells/mm3 are at risk for opportunistic infections. Pneumocystis jirovecii, a fungal pathogen, is a common cause of opportunistic infections with predominantly pulmonary involvement. Disseminated P.

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.
