Late‐onset <i>Pneumocystis jirovecii</i> pneumonia post‐allogeneic stem cell transplantation after time‐dependent discontinuation of prophylaxis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Introduction Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is a rare complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Primary prophylaxis for 6–12 months post‐HSCT is the standard approach. However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal duration of prophylaxis. Methods We identified patients who developed PJP more than 1‐year post‐HSCT. All patients had previously received 12 months of PJP prophylaxis. PJP was diagnosed based on clinical findings and the detection of P. jirovecii in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The CD4+ T‐cell percentage was determined using flow cytometry. Data expressed as median (interquartile range). Results Ten patients developed PJP at 17.5 months (16–24 months) post‐HSCT. PJP diagnosis occurred 5.5 months (3–15 months) after discontinuing prophylaxis. Eight patients received anti‐thymocyte globulin (ATG) as graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. At diagnosis, only one patient had lymphopenia; all patients had CD4+ T‐lymphocyte counts ≥0.2 × 109/L (median 0.337 × 109/L). Three patients had concomitant bacterial infections. The clinical presentation was mild; only three required hospitalization, none of them required intensive care and there were no deaths. Conclusion There is a need to develop risk‐adapted prophylactic strategies in the contemporary era using ATG‐based GVHD prophylaxis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
