DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4067
Abstract: Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is a life‐threatening infection occurring in patients receiving bendamustine. The poorly defined incidence, particularly when utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based diagnostic techniques, precipitates unclear prophylaxis recommendations. Our objective was to determine… read more here.
