pneumocystis jirovecii colonization in non-hiv-infected patients based on nested-pcr detection in bronchoalveolar lavage samples.
pneumocystis jirovecii causes pneumocystis pneumonia (pcp) in immunocompromised patients with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. colonization with this fungus may stimulate pulmonary inflammation or lead to pcp in susceptible patients. the epidemiology of this infection and routs of its transmission has poorly studied in iran. we examined pneumosystis colonization in patients with various ...
متن کاملPneumocystis jiroveci in HIV/AIDS patients: detection by FTA filter paper together with PCR in noninvasive induced sputum specimens.
OBJECTIVES To detect P. jiroveci (previously named P. carinii) by PCR using FTA filter paper to extract the DNA, from noninvasive induced sputum samples of HIV/AIDS patients. MATERIAL AND METHOD Fifty two HIV/AIDS patients suspected of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital were recruited. Both cytological method and PCR with FTA filter paper technique w...

متن کامل[Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia: comparative study of cases in HIV-infected patients and immunocompromised non-HIV-infected patients].
BACKGROUND Although P. jiroveci pneumonia affects immunocompromised (IC) patients of any etiology, clinical features and prognostic outcomes are different depending if they are patients with HIV infection or other causes of IC. OBJECTIVES To compare clinical and laboratory features as well as outcomes of P. jiroveci pneumonia in HIV versus non-HIV patients. METHODS Retrospective review of c...
متن کاملPneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia in immunocompromised patients: delayed diagnosis and poor outcomes in non-HIV-infected individuals.
BACKGROUND Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) is a life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. Improved knowledge about the varied characteristics and management in different populations may guide treatment. METHODS We evaluated the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients with PJP diagnosed by nested polymerase chain reaction at a medical center in southe...
