potentially practice changing article on the use of np swab pcr to diagnose (or at least rule in) PCP, at least i hope it is. NP swab PCP PCR found to be 100% specific for diagnosis. potentially sparing many pts the risk and cost of bronch.

blastomycosis. is there any infection where the evaluation and diagnosis is so disproportionately interesting compared to its actual management? #idtwitter
