Core Tip |
Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is an infectious disease common in immunocompromised hosts. However, the clinical characteristics of non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected PJP patients have not been fully elucidated. The current study was a retrospective study of non-HIV-infected PJP treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and caspofungin. Clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of the patients were evaluated. Non-HIV-infected PJP patients are characterized by rapid disease progression, high risk of respiratory failure, and high mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve survival in non-HIV-infected PJP populations. The findings of the current study showed that a combination of TMP-SMX and caspofungin is an effective therapy for non-HIV-infected PJP patients with respiratory failure. |
