Abstract
The article presents findings of a study involving adult patients who received intravenous IV pentamidine for pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) prophylaxis following allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) transplants. It details the advantages of IV pentamidine in reaching the bloodstream and in monitoring PJP prophylaxis. It implies that IV pentamidine is effective and safe in preventing PJP in adult patients undergoing allogeneic HPC transplant for hematologic malignancies
