Abstract

Pneumonia, caused by the opportunistic fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii , poses a significant risk for immunocompromised individuals. Laboratory testing for P. jirovecii is progressively shifting toward the use of molecular tests such as real-time PCR; however, this is often performed at reference laboratories.
