Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the global epidemiology of HIV-associated pneumocystosis (HAP) by reviewing data from 29 studies involving over 38,000 HIV-positive patients.
- HIV-positive individuals showed a 35.4% prevalence of HAP, significantly higher than the 10.16% prevalence among HIV-negative populations, with HIV-positive patients being nearly 12 times more susceptible to Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP).
- Mortality rates for HAP patients were 52% higher compared to those without PCP, highlighting the need for updated management strategies and further research to understand and address this co-infection effectively.
