The high sensitivity of amplification by PCR requires the specimen to be processed in an environment in which contamination of the specimen by Pneumocystis species DNA is not likely. Forms: If not ordering electronically, submit a Microbiology Request Form (Supply T244) with the specimen. Preferred Specimens: respiratory specimens (eg, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, bronchial washing, sputum), pleural fluid, respiratory tissue (fresh) Acceptable Specimens: If no fresh specimen is available, digested respiratory specimens treated with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NALC)/NaOH are acceptable (eg, bronchoalveolar lavage [BAL] fluid, bronchial washing, respiratory fluid, sputum, or tracheal secretion), as are NALC/NaOH-treated gastric washes. Unacceptable Specimens: Body fluid , CSF or pleural fluid, blood, bone, nonrespiratory tissue, bone marrow, organ tissues other than lung, paraffin-embedded tissue, specimen in anaerobe vial or viral transport medium (including but not limited to M4, M5, BD viral transport media, thioglycolate broth), stool, swab, tissue in formalin fluid, urine, specimen >7 days old Specimen must arrive within 7 days of collection; specimen >7 days will be rejected.
