Similar to the multicenter study by the Pulmonary Complications of HIV Infection Study Group [ 4 ] , 94% of the patients with PCP had a CD4 +lymphocyte count < 200/μL in the PIP study.
Multiple episodes of PCP and mycobacterial infections were defined by identifying the same organism on different admissions of the same patient.
However, a recent review of 48 autopsies of HIV-infected patients from the same institution showed cryptococcal pneumonia to be as frequent as PCP [ 20 ] .
Despite its decline as a result of widespread antiretroviral therapy and chemoprophylaxis, PCP has remained a common complication in patients with HIV infection [ 2 3 ] . In a prospective multicenter study of HIV seropositive patients, for 79% of those with a CD4 +lymphocyte count < 200/μL receiving PCP chemoprophylaxis, the rate of first episode PCP was 3.3 per 100 person-years [ 4 ] . Although actual data were not available, high rates of noncompliance with and lack of access to antiretroviral therapy and chemoprophylaxis were likely in our study population, which included a significant number of medically underserved patients without perceived risk for HIV.
PCP was the most common nonbacterial pulmonary complication caused by a single organism in our study.
