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.
