Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study, we aim to investigate the incidence of the adverse reactions, the effectiveness and the gene polymorphism associated with the plasma level of sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and their metabolites (including N4-acetyl-sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethoxazole hydroxylamine and sulfamethoxazole-nitroso). And we also aim to investigate the factors associated with the sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim induced acute psychosis.
