Comparison of PneumID real-time PCR assay with Amplex eazyplex LAMP assay for laboratory diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia

Abstract We compared PneumID PCR with Amplex eazyplex LAMP assay for the diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). Both assays enable the accurate diagnosis of definite PJP. Cut-off cycle threshold of the PneumID assay was
