This research aims to identify chest CT findings associated with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in immunocompromised patients.
Analyzed data from a large, multicenter cohort.
Included both HIV and non-HIV immunocompromised patients.
Examined chest CT imaging results for characteristic features.
Ground-glass opacity was the most common finding on chest CT images.
No distinct imaging features were found to differentiate between the causes of immunocompromise.

Implication

Multicenter cohort reveals common CT findings in immunocompromised patients, suggesting shared imaging features.

Abstract

In a large, multicenter cohort of HIV and non–HIV immunocompromised patients with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, chest CT most commonly demonstrated diffusely distributed ground-glass opacity, with no imaging features distinguishing between immunocompromise etiology.
