leflunomide and P carinii Pneumonia

leflunomide has been researched along with P carinii Pneumonia in 2 studies

Leflunomide: An isoxazole derivative that inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, the fourth enzyme in the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway. It is used an immunosuppressive agent in the treatment of RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS and PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS.
leflunomide : A monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 5-methyl-1,2-oxazole-4-carboxylic acid with the anilino group of 4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline. The prodrug of teriflunomide.

"Recurrences of COVID-19 were observed in a patient with long-term usage of hydroxychloroquine, leflunomide, and glucocorticoids due to her 30-year history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)."5.05A complex COVID-19 case with rheumatoid arthritis treated with tocilizumab. ( Cai, S; Dong, L; Li, M; Sun, W, 2020)
"We present the case of a 62-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis who developed a leukaemoid reaction and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration that had been given to treat neutropenia secondary to methotrexate and leflunomide toxicity."4.12Acute respiratory distress syndrome precipitated by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in undiagnosed ( Chua, C; Cooke, R; Doig, C; Leung, T, 2022)
