Limited effect of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis on Pneumocystis carinii.
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole has been proven effective in the treatment and prevention of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonitis in lower animals and humans. How effective the drug combination is in eradicating P. carinii from the host is not known. The immunosuppressed rat model was used to determine whether or not trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole effectively eradicated the organism. Animals treated w...
متن کاملSystemic Pneumocystis carinni pneumonia prophylaxis with dapsone and pyrimethamine fails
Extrapulmonary pneumocystosis is a feature of severe immunosuppression which earlier reports have suggested is limited to patients receiving either no prophylaxis or aerosolised pentamidine. We report a case of disseminated pneumocystosis which developed in an HIV positive homosexual man despite systemic primary Pneumocystis carinii pneumo-
متن کاملLifelong Prophylaxis With Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole for Prevention of Outbreak of Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia in Kidney Transplant Recipients
BACKGROUND Outbreaks of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) in kidney transplant recipients are frequently reported worldwide. However, the general guidelines propose only short-term prophylaxis with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole after kidney transplantation. We experienced 3 PCP outbreaks in the last 10 years despite providing the recommended prophylaxis. The purpose of this study was to fi...
متن کاملInhaled pentamidine for Pneumocystis jiroveci prophylaxis in a heart transplant recipient with allergy for trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole.
Pneumocystis jiroveci is an important cause of mortality and morbidity among heart transplant recipients. This raises the question of prophylactic treatment for this infection. Trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole is commonly used in P. jiroveci pneumonia prophylaxis with mild to severe adverse effects. We present the use of inhaled pentamidine as P. jiroveci prophylaxis in a patient with an allergy to...
متن کاملIneffectiveness of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis and the importance of bacterial and viral coinfections in African children with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
African human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected children were evaluated to define the burden of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and its interaction with bacterial and viral pathogens. P. carinii was identified in 101 (43.7%) of 231 episodes of pneumonia among 185 HIV-1-infected children (median age, 4.5 months; range, 1.7-27.3 months). Receipt of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole ...
