O2 desaturation with exercise: Sensitivity and Specificity
Introduction:
None written. Excerpt from the entry in Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia:
Assessment of oxygenation at rest and with exercise. The presence of PCP is highly unlikely if the response to exercise is normal, ie, a decrease in the alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient or an increase in the oxygen saturation with exercise.
