pneumonia (PCP) in patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with a high mortality rate, which increases substantially with the need for mechanical ventilation. Local experience of patients with PCP admitted to the intensive care unit has revealed mortality rates close to 100%. We present a case of a 39-year-old HIV-infected man diagnosed with PCP who was successfully weaned from mechanical ventilation after presenting with respiratory distress and severe hypoxaemia. A short review of the literature will also be presented.
人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者的肺孢子菌肺炎(PCP)死亡率很高,需要机械通气时死亡率会大幅上升。入住重症监护病房的PCP患者的本地经验显示死亡率接近100%。我们报告一例39岁感染HIV的男性诊断为PCP,该患者在出现呼吸窘迫和严重低氧血症后成功撤机。还将对相关文献进行简要综述。
