| Abstract: |
The document discusses the impact of respiratory codetection on critically ill patients with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PcP). The study, conducted in a hospital in Seoul, South Korea, found that bacterial and HSV-1 codetections were associated with higher 90-day mortality, while respiratory virus and CMV codetections did not show the same correlation. The study highlights the need for further research on the impact of codetections in patients with PcP and emphasizes the importance of actively searching for and treating codetections in these patients.
