A Review of Pneumocystis Pneumonia

Stephanie A. Lee, MD

Christiana Care Health Systems, J32 Omega Drive, Newark, DE 19713.

Pneumocystis pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the HIV-infected population. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole remains the drug of choice for both the treatment and prevention of this infection, although a high rate of side effects in HIV-infected patients often necessitates alternative treatment regimens. This article will review pneumocystis pneumonia, with a focus on the various therapeutic options, their side effects, and the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome as it relates to pneumocystis pneumonia infection.

Key Words: Pneumocystis pneumonia • HIV • trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole • side effects
