Core Tip |
Trimethoprim/sulfomethoxazole (TMP/SMX), the first-line drug for pneumocystis pneumonia pro-phylaxis following heart transplantation, is well to-lerated, however; serious side effects have also been reported during its use. Pentamidine is an alternative prophylaxis agent when TMP/SMX cannot be tolerated following solid organ transplantations. Although there are various studies evaluating the efficiency and safety of pentamidine in these groups, merely reports were found about its usage in heart transplantation recipients. This review aims to evaluate the use of pentamidine against Pneumocystis jirovecii following heart transplantation.
