Evaluation of PCR in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia: a bivariate meta-analysis and systematic review.
<h4>Background</h4>As a promising tool, PCR in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) has not been accepted as a diagnostic criterion for PJP.<h4>Objective</h4>We undertook a systematic review of published studies to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of PCR assays in BALF for PJP...
