sulfamethoxazole and Pneumocystis Infections

sulfamethoxazole has been researched along with Pneumocystis Infections in 7 studies

Sulfamethoxazole: A bacteriostatic antibacterial agent that interferes with folic acid synthesis in susceptible bacteria. Its broad spectrum of activity has been limited by the development of resistance. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p208)
sulfamethoxazole : An isoxazole (1,2-oxazole) compound having a methyl substituent at the 5-position and a 4-aminobenzenesulfonamido group at the 3-position.

Pneumocystis Infections: Infections with species in the genus PNEUMOCYSTIS, a fungus causing interstitial plasma cell pneumonia (PNEUMONIA, PNEUMOCYSTIS) and other infections in humans and other MAMMALS. Immunocompromised patients, especially those with AIDS, are particularly susceptible to these infections. Extrapulmonary sites are rare but seen occasionally.

Research Excerpts

" The panel members discussed the use of valacyclovir (Valtrex) to provide prophylaxis for herpes zoster, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole for Pneumocystis, and acyclovir (Zovirax) for varicella zoster."3.70Infectious complications of pentostatin therapy. ( Cabanillas, F; Dang, N; Drapkin, R; Foss, F; O'Brien, S; Vose, JM, 2000)
"We report a case of P carinii infection presenting as bilateral aural polyps, otitis media and mastoiditis in human immunodeficiency (HIV)-positive patient with no history of prior or concomitant P carinii infection."2.41Pneumocystis carinii infection in bilateral aural polyps in a human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient. ( Elmahallawy, M; Horsfield, C; Praveen, CV; Terry, RM, 2002)
" Extending these experiments, we have now shown that roxithromycin at doses of 400 or 200 mg/kg/day combined with dapsone at doses of 5, 25 or 50 mg/kg/day completely prevented the development of T."1.30Experimental evaluation of roxithromycin combined with dapsone or sulphamethoxazole on Pneumocystis carinii and Toxoplasma gondii dual infections in a rat model.
