Pneumocystis infectious disease
MONDO:0005923Infections with species in the genus pneumocystis, a fungus causing interstitial plasma cell pneumonia (pneumonia, pneumocystis) and other infections in humans and other mammals. Immunocompromised patients, especially those with aids, are particularly susceptible to these infections. Extrapulmonary sites are rare but seen occasionally.
Also known as: Pneumocystis infection, infections, Pneumocystis

Could a lower dose of antibiotics be safer and just as effective for this lung infection?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study is for people with a weakened immune system who have a serious lung infection called PCP. The standard treatment often causes bad side effects. Researchers want to see if a lower dose of the antibiotic TMP-SMX works just as well but with fewer side effects. About 416 a…

Kidney transplant patients sought for study to prevent deadly lung infection
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study looks at how long kidney transplant patients should take a common antibiotic (TMP-SMX) to prevent a serious lung infection called PJP. About 450 participants will be randomly assigned to different treatment durations. The goal is to find the safest and most effective l…

New score could help doctors spot fungal pneumonia faster
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study aims to create and test a clinical prediction score called FUNGAL-P to help doctors identify fungal pneumonia early in adults who come to the hospital with pneumonia. Researchers will analyze medical records from past patients and then test the score on new patients to…

Could a simple swab replace a lung scope for pneumocystis diagnosis?
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study is testing whether a mouthwash or a nasal swab can accurately detect pneumocystis pneumonia (PcP) in immunocompromised patients. Currently, diagnosis often requires a bronchoscopy, which is invasive and uncomfortable. Researchers will compare the new non-invasive metho…
