Pneumocystis jirovecii can cause Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), a life-threatening infection, especially in immunocompromised individuals such as those with HIV/AIDS, cancer patients, and organ transplant recipients. Symptoms of the infection are non-specific and can be mistaken for other respiratory infection.
A timely and accurate diagnosis of PCP is essential for effective management and treatment, reducing the risk of severe complications and improving patient care.
