Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungus that causes Pneumocystis pneumonia in immunosuppressed patients and has been closely associated with AIDS since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. Because in vitro cultivation of P. jirovecii is not possible, progress has been hindered in our understanding of its life cycle, mode of transmission, metabolic function, and genome. Limited amounts of P. jirovecii...
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 ...
Pneumocystis jirovecii is the causative agent of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised persons. Knowledge of the transmission and epidemiology of PCP is still incipient, and investigations on these subjects are based exclusively on applications of molecular typing techniques. The polymorphic internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2 in the ribosomal DNA operon, which in the P. jiro...
Background. There is limited information on the association between colonization density of upper respiratory tract colonizers and pathogen-specific pneumonia. We assessed this association for Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pneumocystis jirovecii. Methods. In 7 low- and middle-income countries, nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs from children with se...
Pneumocystis jirovecii is a symbiotic respiratory fungus that causes pneumonia (PcP) in immunosuppressed patients. Because P. jirovecii cannot be reliably cultured in vitro, it has proven difficult to study and gaps in our understanding of the organism persist. The release of a draft genome for the organism opens the door for the development of new genotyping approaches for studying its molecul...
Ten Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) cases were diagnosed in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) during a 3-year period. Nosocomial transmission from HIV-positive patients with PCP was suspected because these patients shared the same hospital building, were not isolated, and were receiving suboptimal anti-PCP prophylaxis or none. P. jirovecii organisms were typed with the multitarget polym...
INTRODUCTION The opportunistic fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii causes Pneumocystis pneumonia (PcP), which is a life-threatening infection in HIV/AIDS patients. The seemingly low prevalence of P. jirovecii pneumonia in sub-Saharan Africa has been a matter of great debate because many HIV/AIDS patients reside in this region. The lack of suitable diagnostic practices in this resource limited-region ...
Pneumocystis jirovecii is an airborne human-specific ascomycetous fungus responsible for Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised patients, affecting >500,000 patients per year (www.gaffi.org). The understanding of its epidemiology is limited by the lack of standardised culture. Recent genotyping data suggests a limited genetic diversity of P. jirovecii. The objective of the study was ...
Everolimus is an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin with anti-tumour activity. While everolimus is known to cause drug-induced pneumonitis, it is rarely associated with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). We report a patient on everolimus therapy for metastatic breast cancer that developed PJP. Diagnosis was based on clinical features and a quantitative polymerase chain reaction for...
UNLABELLED Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungus that causes severe pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. However, its study is hindered by the lack of an in vitro culture method. We report here the genome of P. jirovecii that was obtained from a single bronchoalveolar lavage fluid specimen from a patient. The major challenge was the in silico sorting of the reads from a mixture representing th...
