Abstract

Objective: Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP) is a common opportunistic infection in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection cases. This study aimed to investigate the mortality rate and the factors affecting mortality in HIV-infected PJP cases followed in our clinic.

Methods: In this study HIV (+) cases followed up in our clinic between 2012-2019 were included. Age, sex, comorbidity status, LDH, CD4, lymphocyte, albumin, values, and blood gas results of these patients were recorded at the time of diagnosis.

Results: Twenty-eight patients with the diagnosis of HIV-infected PJP were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 45.7 years, and the male ratio was 78.6% (18/28). The overall hospital mortality rate was 35.7% (10/28) among the cases.

Conclusions: As a result, performing studies involving many patients may be beneficial in these patients for diagnosis, follow-up and early treatment.
