摘要
We compared the RealCycler (R) PJIR kit (Progenie Molecular), available in Europe, to an in-house real-time PCR assay for the diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii infections. Excellent agreement was found (concordance rate, 97.4%; Cohen's kappa, 0.918 > 0.8) showing that this commercial assay represents an alternative method for the diagnosis of P. jirovecii infections.
