How to diagnose and treat a non-HIV patient with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP)?

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2023
BACKGROUND Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia (PCP) incidence is increasing in non-HIV infected patients. In contrast to PCP in patients infected with HIV, diagnosis is often delayed, and illness is associated with an increased mortality.
