Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: An outbreak of 29 cases of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) occurred among renal and liver transplant recipients (RTR and LTR) in the largest Danish transplantation centre between 2007 and 2010, when routine PCP prophylaxis was not used. METHODS: P. jirovecii isolates from 22 transplant cases, 2 colonized RTRs, and 19 Pneumocystis control samples were genotyped by restriction fragment length...
