Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia

pneumonia in people with HIV whose CD4 count is between 100 and 200 cells/mm³​

​US guidelines for the management of opportunistic infections in people living with HIV have made new recommendations for primary prophylaxis of Pneumocystic jirovecii pnuemonia. Prophylaxis is now indicated if:

  • CD4 count is <100 cells/mm³, regardless of plasma HIV level

  • CD4 count is 100-200 cells/mm³, if plasma HIV RNA level is above detection limits

Intermittent intravenous pentamidine is now an option for prophylaxis in people who are seronegative for Toxoplasma gondii, although trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole remains the preferred treatment.[32]
