Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in Solid-Organ Transplant Recipients: A National Center Experience.

CONCLUSIONS: The overall prevalence of P. jirovecii pneumonia in solid-organ transplant recipients was similar to other single-center reports. Prophylaxis prevented early posttransplant P. jirovecii pneumonia. However, P. jirovecii pneumonia may develop at any posttransplant stage, and viral infections other than cytomegalovirus should also be considered as a predictor.
