Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients tend to be more frequently colonized by Pneumocystis during exacerbation (19.0%) than at stable state (10.7%). Factors associated with colonization include lower BMI, higher IL-17, and CD62P. Pneumocystis detection in patients' dwellings suggests potential persistence in indoor dust.
