To the Editor: Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii) pneumonia (PJP) is an opportunistic infection that usually occurs in immunosuppressed patients. Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients have a high incidence of PJP due to the use of immunosuppressive therapy. In recent years, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has been increasingly used in the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Herein, we report ten cases of PJP diagnosed by mNGS and compare the diagnostic value of mNGS with that of conventional laboratory methods.
