PROGRAMME: 2.00 pm Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia; The who and the where; identifying the population at risk. Poster 3 A case of voriconazole induced adrenal suppression in a patient with polyarteritis nodosa. Pneumocystis jivoreci is an opportunistic pathogen which can lead to life threatening respiratory failure. It has a documented mortality of between 5-20% 1. Historically it was almost exclusive to HIV patients however; an increase in immunosuppressive therapies has led to a reciprocal increase in the prevalence of Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in this non-HIV population 2. Despite clear guidelines for PCP prophylaxis in HIV, there is a haphazard approach in other immunosuppressed populations 1. A growing body of evidence suggests that immunosuppressed patients are at an increased risk of PCP, but to what extent, or to whom that risk is greatest is not certain2.
