sequencing (mNGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in the diagnosis of …

The diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) relies on microscopic visualization of
Pneumocystis jirovecii organisms or DNA detection in pulmonary specimens. This study …

Objective: The information about the epidemiology of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PcP) in
Europe is scarce, and in Spain there are only data nationwide on patients with HIV infection …

We undertook a bivariate meta-analysis to assess the overall accuracy of respiratory
specimen PCR assays for diagnosing Pneumocystis pneumonia. The summary sensitivity …
