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.
The viruses and bacteria that cause pink eye can spread easily, but during the incubation period, you wonât be able to infect people yet; Thereâs really no definite period of time before symptoms of pink eye appear, but it is agreed that it usually takes anywhere from 12 hours to three days for viral conjunctivitis to manifest Pink eye is a highly contagious disease if the underlying cause is a bacterial or a viral infection.
