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.
Answers from Dennis Robertson, M.D. Pink eye (conjunctivitis) generally remains contagious as long as your child is experiencing tearing and matted eyes. Signs and symptoms of pink eye usually improve within three to seven days. When tearing and matted eyes are no longer present, it's appropriate for a child to return to school or child care. If the pink eye is caused by a bacterial infection, treatment with antibiotic drops or ointment for the eyes may be necessary. Some schools and child care facilities require that a child wait at least 24 hours after starting treatment before returning.
