Clinical characteristics and prognostic analysis of concurrent Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia in patients with malignancies: a retrospective study
Compared with patients with non-hematological malignancies, patients with hematological malignancies were more likely to require mechanical ventilation and to be infected with PJP within a shorter time from the onset of underlying malignancies and from the first chemotherapy treatment. Non-solid malignancies, CMV viremia, bacterial HAP, and pneumomediastinum were independent risk factors for survival in patients with malignancy-PJP.
