Pneumonia caused by infection (PCP) is a potentially life-threatening illness, particularly affecting the immunocompromised. The past two decades have shown an increase in PCP incidence; however, the underlying factors that promote disease severity and fatality have yet to be fully elucidated. Recent evidence suggests that the microbiota of the respiratory tract may play a role in stimulating or repressing pulmonary inflammation, as well as the progression of both bacterial and viral pneumonia.

Infectious and Tropical Diseases Unit, Padua University Hospital, 35128 Padua, Italy.
Background: Despite kidney transplantation being a life-saving procedure, patients experience a high risk of developing fungal infections (FIs), with an increased risk of both morbidity and mortality, especially during the first year after transplant.
Methods: We herein conducted a narrative review of the most common FIs in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), with a focus on prevalence, risk factors, mortality, and prevention strategies.
Results: The most common fungal pathogens in KTRs include species (up to 70% of the overall FIs), species, , and species.

Sci Rep
January 2025
The Affiliated Lihuili Hospital of Ningbo University, Ningbo, 315040, Zhejiang, People's Republic of China.
To develop and assess a nomogram predictive model for evaluating the 28-day mortality risk in patients diagnosed with Pneumocystis who have been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). From 2008 to 2022, clinical data on patients with Pneumocystis were collected using the American Critical Care Medical Information Database IV (MIMIC-IV). Initially, 63 significant predictive indicators were included, with ICU admission as the time node and all-cause mortality within 28 days as the outcome.
