PneumID
IMMY's Real-Time PCR test for the detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii affords laboratories increased accuracy over other methods of diagnosis.
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is a life-threatening opportunistic disease caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii, formerly known as Pneumocystis carinii species, a unicellular eukaryotic and ubiquitous yeast-like fungus. Conservative approximations calculate around 400,000 cases of PCP annually worldwide, but this is likely to be an underestimate of the true burden.
