Inhaled or Intravenous Pentamidine Therapy for <i>Pneumocystis carinii</i> Pneumonia in AIDS

Abstract

Inhaled pentamidine is probably as effective as intravenous pentamidine in patients with mild pneumocystis pneumonia. However, its use as sole therapy in patients with moderate to severe pneumocystis pneumonia is not supported by the results of our study and is not warranted.
