Test Details
Methodology
Gomori methenamine silver stain and microscopic evaluation are performed.
Result Turnaround Time
Within 1 day
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Test Includes
Cytologic examination of smears
Use
This test is used to determine the presence of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) (formerly Pneumocystis carinii).
Special Instructions
Include patient's name, date of birth, date of collection, specimen type, sex, Social Security number, previous malignancy, drug therapy, radiation therapy, and all other pertinent clinical information on the request form.
Custom Additional Information
The Cytology laboratory does not offer a Pneumocystis stain by itself but does offer a cytologic interpretation of the specimen in conjunction with a special stain for PJP. This policy assures that the specimen is adequate (i.e., if pulmonary macrophages are present in a sputum), as well as review for atypical or malignant cells. If only a special stain for PJP is wanted, without cytologic review of the cells, please order Test No. 180232 to be sent to the microbiology department.
