Prevalence and genotyping of Pneumocystis jirovecii in renal transplant recipients—preliminary report

  • Autores: Szydłowicz M, Jakuszko K, Szymczak A, Piesiak P, Kowal A, Kopacz Z, Wesolowska M, Lobo ML, Matos O, Hendrich AB, Kicia M

Pneumocystis jirovecii is an opportunistic fungus occurring in human lungs. The group at highest risk consists of HIV-infected and non-HIV-infected immunosuppressed individuals. In these patients, P. jirovecii infection may lead to Pneumocystis pneumonia; it may, however, persist also in an asymptomatic form. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of P. jirovecii and potential risk […]

Genotyping of Pneumocystis jirovecii in colonized patients with various pulmonary diseases

  • Autores: Sokulska M, Kicia M, Wesolowska M, Piesiak P, Kowal A, Lobo ML, Kopacz Z, Hendrich AB, Matos O
  • Ano de Publicação: 2018
  • Journal: Medical Mycology
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29228377

Pneumocystis jirovecii is an opportunistic fungus causing Pneumocystis pneumonia primarily in immunosuppressed patients. However, immunocompetent individuals may become colonized and, as asymptomatic carriers, serve as reservoirs of the pathogen. Moreover, these asymptomatic carriers are at higher risk of developing pneumonia if favorable conditions occur. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of P. jirovecii in […]

Prevalence of colonization and multilocus genotyping profiles of Pneumocystis jirovecii among patients with various pulmonary disorders in Poland

  • Autores: Hendrich AB, Kicia M, Kopacz Z, Kowal A, Lobo ML, Matos O, Piesiak P, Sokulska M, Wesolowska M
  • Ano de Publicação: 2017
  • Journal: Medical Mycology

This study describes the prevalence and genotype distribution of Pneumocystis jirovecii obtained from nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs from immunocompetent Cuban infants and toddlers with whooping cough (WC). A total of 163 NP swabs from 163 young Cuban children with WC who were admitted to the respiratory care units at two pediatric centers were studied. The prevalence of the […]
