Retrospective review of intravenous pentamidine for <i><scp>P</scp>neumocystis</i> pneumonia prophylaxis in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Abstract

This retrospective study showed that IV PEN is very effective and well-tolerated prophylaxis for PJP; IV PEN can be considered a favorable alternative for PJP in situations where other agents might be contraindicated. Our findings provide strong support for prospective studies of IV PEN for PJP prophylaxis in adult HSCT recipients.
