We analyzed prospectively collected data from 211 HIV-infected patients who underwent bronchoscopy because of pulmonary symptoms during the period 1989-1991. We found an improvement in survival for patients diagnosed with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in 1991 as compared to 1989 and 1990 (log rank test: p = 0.07). A significant decline in PO2 and CD4 cell count was observed in patients with PCP in the same period (p < 0.05 and 0.005 respectively). We suggest that the decline in CD4 cell count and in PO2 may reflect a change in Pneumocystis carinii transmission, and that the improved survival may be a result of altered treatment strategy of PCP.
我们分析了1989年至1991年期间因肺部症状接受支气管镜检查的211例HIV感染患者的前瞻性收集数据。我们发现,与1989年和1990年相比,1991年被诊断为卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎(PCP)的患者生存率有所提高(对数秩检验:p = 0.07)。同期PCP患者的PO2和CD4细胞计数显著下降(分别为p < 0.05和0.005)。我们认为,CD4细胞计数和PO2的下降可能反映了卡氏肺孢子虫传播的变化,而生存率的提高可能是PCP治疗策略改变的结果。
