Recent advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia

R T Davey Jr et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1990 Apr.

Abstract

In summary, recent advances in our ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent recurrences of pneumocystis pneumonia have significantly improved the clinical management of this infection, especially in HIV-1-infected individuals. As current investigations allow our therapeutic armamentarium in this disease to be strengthened even further, it is likely that pneumocystis pneumonia will pose a diminishing threat to those patients currently most susceptible to this infection.
