β-Glucans Are Masked but Contribute to Pulmonary Inflammation During Pneumocystis Pneumonia.
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016 β-glucans, which can activate innate immune responses, are a major component in the cell wall of the cyst form of Pneumocystis In the current study, we examined whether β-1,3-glucans are masked by surface proteins in Pneumocystis and what role β-glucans ...

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 5, Page 1487-1492, May 2026.While providing potentially life‐saving cardiorespiratory support for critically ill patients, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may detrimentally affect pharmacokinetic (PK) performance and concurrent drug efficacy and safety. We describe a patient with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in the context of acquired immunodeficiency ...

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 5, 2026.We report on a patient homozygous for a novel autosomal recessive loss‐of‐function CARD11 variant, with susceptibility to live attenuated virus (LAV) vaccines and impaired clearance of multiple naturally acquired respiratory viral infections. Inborn errors of immunity affecting the CARD11‐BCL10‐MALT1 (CBM) complex should be considered in individuals ...

Update on the diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia
Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2011 Pneumocystis is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes an often-lethal pneumonia in immunocompromised hosts. Although the organism was discovered in the early 1900s, the first cases of Pneumocystis pneumonia in humans were initially recognized in ...

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The interstitial‐to‐airway cross‐compartment sharing pattern of activated immune cells provides new insights for severe pneumonia. Macrophages could amplify local immune response by recruiting specific activated immune cells via CXCL10–CXCR3 signalling into airway, while other immune cells reside with limited inflammatory activity.

Marked improvement in survival among adult Croatian AIDS patients after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral treatment [PDF]
, 2006 We compared the survival of patients following the first AIDS event in Croatia from the period 1986-1996 to the period 1997-2000. A total of 72 (81.8%) out of 88 patients from 1986-1996 and 18 (32.1%) out of 56 from 1997-2000 died. Survival following the
