Pneumocystis jiroveci, Molecular Detection, PCR
Clinical Information: Pneumocystis pneumonia is an important cause of opportunistic infection in
immunocompromised patients, particularly those with HIV. The causative agent, Pneumocystis jiroveci,
cannot be cultured in vitro and, therefore, laboratory detection has historically relied upon microscopic
identification directly from patient specimens using fluorescent stains or antibodies. Unfortunately, stains
often lack sensitivity and require expertise on the part of the reader in order to differentiate Pneumocystis
jiroveci from staining artifacts and other fungi. This real-time PCR assay provides sensitive (21% more
sensitive than direct detection using fluorescent calcofluor white stain), specific, and objective detection
of Pneumocystis from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and other specimens.
Useful For: Preferred test for detection of Pneumocystis
Interpretation: A positive result indicates the presence of Pneumocystis DNA. A negative result
indicates the absence of detectable Pneumocystis DNA.
