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 incubation period depends on the causative agent. For example the incubation period of meningococcal meningitis is 2-10 days while the incubation for hemophilus meningitis is much shorter ranging from 2-4 days.However the range of incubation for most organisms causing meningitis is 2 days to 2 weeks.eningitis is infection and inflamation of the meninges (the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord). Meningitis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
