Background Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is one of the most common
opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. However, the accurate prediction …

Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungus that causes Pneumocystis pneumonia in immuno-
compromised patients. To analyze the genetic diversity of P. jirovecii in HIV-negative …

Materials and Methods: Mini-bronchoalveolar lavage (mini-BAL) fluids from pediatric
patients with no history of lung disorders were obtained during a 14-month period. P. jiroveci …

Bronchoalveolar lavage is usually employed for molecular diagnosis of Pneumocystis
jirovecii but requires a specialized procedure. By contrast, nasopharyngeal (NP) specimens …

Pneumocystis jirovecii is the cause of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in immuno-
compromised individuals. The aim of this study was to describe the genotypes/haplotypes of …

Pneumocystis jirovecii is implicated in the pathogenesis of Pneumocystis pneumonia. It is
notoriously difficult to cultivate. Therefore, the present study aimed to estimate three …

HIV has become a major health problem in India, patients commonly succumb to
opportunistic infections (OIs), respiratory infections being an important cause of morbidity …

Pneumocystis jirovecii is the only fungus of its kind to be pathogenic in humans. It is
primarily responsible for pneumonia (PJP). The key to understanding immune defences has …

We developed a quantitative real-time PCR assay for detection and quantification of
Pneumocystis jiroveci in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens based on primers and …

Purpose Pneumocystis pneumonia is a serious opportunistic infection that frequently
occurred in HIV-seropositive patients, prior to the advent of highly active antiretroviral …
