A Mathematical Model for Co-infection Dynamics of Pneumocystis Pneumonia and HIV/AIDS with Treatment [PDF]

Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 12(4), 48-63 (2024), 2023
The control of opportunistic infections among HIV infected individuals should be one of the major public health concerns in reducing mortality rate of individuals living with HIV/AIDS. In this study a deterministic co-infection mathematical model is employed to provide a quantification of treatment at each contagious stage against Pneumocystis ...

Differences and similarities of high-resolution computed tomography features between pneumocystis pneumonia and cytomegalovirus pneumonia in AIDS patients

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2020
Background Accurately differentiating pneumocystis from cytomegalovirus pneumonia is crucial for correct therapy selection in AIDS patients. Hence, the goal of this study was to compare the computerized tomography (CT) features of pneumocystis pneumonia ...

Survey of the Transcription Factor Responses of Mouse Lung Alveolar Macrophages to Pneumocystis murina

Pathogens, 2021
Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungal pathogen that can cause life-threatening infections in individuals who are immunocompromised. Acquired via inhalation, upon entering the respiratory tract, the fungi first encounter innate immune cells such as alveolar ...

An Adaptive and Altruistic PSO-based Deep Feature Selection Method for Pneumonia Detection from Chest X-Rays [PDF]

Applied Soft Computing, 2022, 109464, ISSN 1568-4946, 2022
Pneumonia is one of the major reasons for child mortality especially in income-deprived regions of the world. Although it can be detected and treated with very less sophisticated instruments and medication, Pneumonia detection still remains a major concern in developing countries.

Pneumocystis Pneumonia: Pitfalls and Hindrances to Establishing a Reliable Animal Model

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Pneumocystis pneumonia is a severe lung infection that occurs primarily in largely immunocompromised patients. Few treatment options exist, and the mortality rate remains substantial. To develop new strategies in the fields of diagnosis and treatment, it

Transfer Learning with Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for Pneumonia Detection using Chest X-ray [PDF]

Appl. Sci. 2020, 10(9), 3233, 2020
Pneumonia is a life-threatening disease, which occurs in the lungs caused by either bacterial or viral infection. It can be life-endangering if not acted upon in the right time and thus an early diagnosis of pneumonia is vital. The aim of this paper is to automatically detect bacterial and viral pneumonia using digital x-ray images.
