علاج التهاب الرئة بالمتكيسة الرئوية من الدرجة المتوسطة إلى الشديدة

• The severity of PCP can be classified as mild-to-moderate if ≤4.7 kPa or moderate-to-severe if >4.7 kPa.
• Patients with moderate-to-severe PCP (i.e. PaO₂ <9.3 kPa at rest breathing room air) should receive intravenous therapy in hospital and can later be switched to oral therapy to complete treatment.
• Several case series and additional retrospective observational studies have shown that caspofungin may be effective as salvage therapy either as monotherapy or in combination with other agents in patients with PCP who are not responding to, or who are intolerant of, first-line therapy.
