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.
Pink eye is contagious for up to 14 days, in the case of viral conjunctivitis, and up to 24 hours after an antibiotic is started with bacterial conjunctivitis.Your healthcare provider will let you know which type of pink eye you or your child has and whether it is contagious.hese antibiotics will have no effect on the contagious period for this type of pink eye because antibiotics do not affect viruses.
