Abstract:
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is a life-threatening opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients.In recent years,the incidence of PCP has increased significantly since the application of combined chemotherapy,immunosuppressant and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,with improved long-term efficacy in pediatric blood disease.This review summarizes the clinical manifestations,laboratory and radiological examination,diagnosis,treatment and prophylaxis.Compound Sulfamethoxazole is the most commonly used agent for prophylaxis.It is recommended for the high-risk patients to take PCP prophylaxis,which could decrease the incidence of PCP.
