Article Synopsis
- P. jiroveci pneumonia presents differently in immunocompromised patients depending on whether they have HIV or other conditions, impacting clinical features and outcomes.
- A study at a Chilean hospital reviewed cases of 28 HIV and 45 non-HIV patients, finding that non-HIV patients were older and had more severe disease with higher mortality rates.
