DOI: 10.1080/14787210.2017.1364991
Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduction: Pneumocystis pneumonia is a potentially life-threatening pulmonary infection that occurs in immunocompromised individuals and HIV-infected patients with a low CD4 cell count. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole has been used as the first-line agent for treatment, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mmy/myab070
Abstract: Pneumocystis jirovecii colonisation is frequent during COPD and patients constitute potential contributors to its interhuman circulation. However, the existence of an environmental reservoir cannot be excluded. We assessed the prevalence and factors associated with Pneumocystis… read more here.
