Prophylaxis of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is a standard of care for children with hematologic malignancies, while its use in solid tumor patients is still debated. A retrospective study focusing on the use of PJP prophylaxis in patients with solid tumors was performed among 16 AIEOP centers: 1046/2863 patients did not receive prophylaxis and no cases of PJP were reported.
对于患有血液系统恶性肿瘤的儿童,用复方磺胺甲噁唑预防卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎(PJP)是一种标准的治疗方法,而在实体瘤患者中使用它仍存在争议。在 16 个 AIEOP 中心进行了一项针对实体瘤患者使用 PJP 预防的回顾性研究:2863 名患者中有 1046 名未接受预防,且未报告 PJP 病例。
