DETECT IF P carinii (FIPC200)
Product catalog summary
Clinical Utility
Pneumocystis carinii is a common organism that infects humans and other mammals. It is particularly problematic in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with AIDS, where it can cause pulmonary infections and pneumonia. Despite a decrease in cases due to highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), it remains the most prevalent opportunistic infection in HIV patients. The immunofluorescence technique has shown increased sensitivity for detecting P. carinii compared to traditional staining methods.

Intended Use
This test is an indirect qualitative immunofluorescence kit designed to detect P. carinii oocysts in human bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and induced sputum. It aids in diagnosing suspected P. carinii infections, with results to be interpreted alongside other clinical and diagnostic information. The method is simple, reliable, and typically provides results within one hour, offering clear and specific outcomes with minimal background fluorescence.

Clinical Utility P carinii is a widespread organism infecting man and other mammals. In immunocompromised patients, especially those with AIDS, it causes pulmonary infection and pneumonia. Although cases of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) have decreased since the introduction of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), PCP is still the most common opportunistic infection in patients with HIV infection. Studies have shown an increase in sensitivity for the detection of P carinii using the immunofluorescence technique over traditional staining methods. Intended Use The Detect IF Pneumocystis...
