“…The drug combination TMP-SMZ has been implemented for treatment and prevention of PcP. This synergic combination of two molecules, members of the class of folate antagonist drugs, has been proven effective against P. jirovecii and is currently the recommended first-line therapy for the treatment of PcP (Masur, 1992;Klein et al, 1992;Barry & Johnson, 2001;Benson et al, 2004). Whereas trimethoprim inhibits DHFR, sulphamethoxazole, like other sulpha and sulphone agents, is a PABA analogue that targets DHPS acting as a competitive inhibitor .…”

“…False negative results of some diagnostic tests may occur in patients with advanced HIV infection, particularly in patients with strong immunosuppression; such results generally concern antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen, HCV, and Toxoplasma gondii [19]. Based on this fact, despite HCVantibody negativity, determination of plasma HCV-RNA should be performed in all patients with advanced HIV infection having unexplained high levels of serum transaminases (B-II).…”

“…Para pacientes com aids, o tratamento de indução considerado de primeira linha constitui-se de anfotericina B (0,7 a 1 mg/kg/dia) associada à Flucitosina (100mg/kg/dia) (Benson et al, 2005), ou não (Portegies et al, 2004) por pelo menos 14 dias, seguido de fluconazol (400-800 mg/dia) por no mínimo oito a 10 semanas (Portegies, 2004;Benson et al, 2005). Este esquema é associado à mortalidade < 10% e resposta micológica de aproximadamente 70% ( Van der Horst et al, 1997;Saag et al, 2000).…”
