We did not find PCP colonization in our cohort of patients. However, we found significant prevalence of CMV DNA in BAL from immunocompetent patients, with no evidence of acute CMV infection. This finding may represent colonization by CMV in immunocompetent, non-critically ill individuals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
