DOI: 10.1111/myc.12997
Abstract: Currently, the biological diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PjP infection) usually relies on microbiological investigations in bronchial‐alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) by conventional staining methods and/or molecular biology. However, bronchial‐alveolar lavage is sometimes complicated to manage,… read more here.
