ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the early diagnosis and treatment of pneumocystosis after renal transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 6 cases of renal transplant recipients from 2000-2001 who developed pneumocystosis were discussed. Results Six patients were diagnosed as having pneumocystosis and subjected to the treatment of SMZ_ CO (SMZ 60-70 mg/kg daily, TMP 12-14 mg/kg daily) for 3 weeks. Immunosuppressive regimene was regulated. Except one case died due to abandonment of treatment, the remaining 5 cases were cured and had normal renal function. Conclusion The diagnosis of pneumocystosis was established by visualization of pathogen in bronchialveolar lavage (BAL) samples. SMZ_ CO is still the most commonly used drug for pneumocystosis at present and administration for individual is important because of its renal toxicity. The dosage of immunosuppressive agent for each patient with pneumocystosis must be adjusted.
