2048. Comparison Between Endpoint and Real-Time (RT) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for the Diagnosis of Pneumocystis Pneumonia (PCP)
BACKGROUND: The definitive diagnosis of PCP requires direct visualization of the organism by silver or direct fluorescent antibody stain, but in recent years PCR has become a widely used diagnostic tool. Varying results have been noted with different PCR assays; one concern has been that RT-PCR will...
