Performance of real-time PCR and immunofluorescence assay for diagnosis of Pneumocystis pneumonia in real-world clinical practice
BACKGROUND: PCR is more sensitive than immunofluorescence assay (IFA) for detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii. However, PCR cannot always distinguish infection from colonization. This study aimed to compare the performance of real-time PCR and IFA for diagnosis of P. jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in a r...
