Prophylaxis of Pneumocystis Pneumonia in. Immunocompromised NonâHIV-Infected Patients: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. HEFZIBA GREEN, MD; MICAL PAUL, MD; LIAT VIDAL, MD; AND LEONARD LEIBOVICI, MD. OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of prophylaxis for Pneumocystis. pneumonia (PCP), caused by Pneumocystis jirovecii (formerly Pneu-. mocystis carinii), for immunocompromised nonâHIV-infected pa-. tients by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Incubation period for pink eye caused by virus is around 12 hours to 3 days and a person can go back to work or school when the symptoms improve. That would be in 3 to 5 days. For bacterial infection, the person can go back to work 24 hours after antibiotic has been administered and symptoms start improving.
It appears people are not contagious during the incubation period of pink eye â the time of up to a few days between when they are exposed and when the symptoms begin. If your pink eye is caused by a common viral infection and no other complications occur, then your eyes should clear up within a few days to two weeks. Pink eye also can be caused by bacterial conjunctivitis, which â even with treatment such as prescription antibiotic eye drops â can last up to a month or longer. However, with this type of pink eye, people should no longer be contagious 24 hours after antibiotic treatment begins.
