- W4380990722 abstract "Abstract Background The number of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) cases is increasing in immunocompromised patients without human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV), causing serious morbidity with high mortality. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) monotherapy has limited effectiveness in the treatment of PCP. Clinical data on whether initial caspofungin plus TMP/SMZ for this disease is superior to monotherapy in non-HIV-infected patients are limited. We aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness of these regimens for severe PCP in non-HIV patients. Methods A retrospective study reviewed 104 non-HIV-infected patients with confirmed PCP in the intensive care unit between January 2016 and December 2021. Eleven patients were excluded from the study because TMP/SMZ could not be used due to severe hematologic disorders or clinical data were missing. All enrolled patients were divided into three groups according to different treatment strategies: Group 1 received TMP/SMZ monotherapy, Group 2 received caspofungin combined with TMP/SMZ as first-line therapy, and Group 3 initially received TMP/SMZ monotherapy and later received caspofungin as salvage therapy. The clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared among the groups. Results A total of 93 patients met the criteria. The overall positive response rate of anti-PCP treatment was 58.06%, and the overall 90-day all-cause mortality rate was 49.46%. The median APACHE II score was 21.44. The concurrent infection rate was 74.19%, among whom 15.05% (n = 14) of those patients had pulmonary aspergillosis, 21.05% (n = 20) had bacteremia, and 23.65% (n = 22) had CMV infections. The patients who received initial caspofungin combination with TMP/SMZ had the best positive response rate (76.74%) compared to others ( p = 0.001). Furthermore, the group that received initial caspofungin combined with TMP/SMZ had a 90-day all-cause mortality rate (39.53%) that was significantly different from that of the shift group (65.51%, p = 0.024), but this rate showed no statistically significant difference compared with that in the monotherapy group (48.62%, p = 0.322). None of the patients had serious adverse events from caspofungin therapy. Conclusions For non-HIV-infected patients with severe PCP, initial combination therapy with caspofungin and TMP/SMZ is a promising first-line treatment option compared with TMP/SMZ monotherapy and combination therapy as salvage therapy." @default.
