2022, Clinical Microbiology and InfectionCitation Excerpt :Of these, 314 were excluded for one or more of the following reasons: wrong publication type, no minimally invasive test performed, wrong population, no reference standard, no full-text, lack of data, and/or duplicate data (Fig. 1). Of the 52 eligible studies, 39 were part of the primary analysis [23–61] and 13 were part of the secondary analysis [15,62–73]. A complete description of eligible studies can be found in the Supplementary material (Table S1).
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification method for diagnosing Pneumocystis pneumonia in HIV-uninfected immunocompromised patients with pulmonary infiltrates
2014, Journal of Infection and ChemotherapyCitation Excerpt :The decision to perform induced sputum (IS) or BAL was at the discretion of the attending physician. IS specimens were obtained according to a standard protocol, after inhalation of nebulized saline for 20 min [7]. IS samples and BAL fluids were stained using Grocott methenamine silver stain or Diff-Quick™ for detection of P. jirovecii trophozoites or cysts.
