Abstract
- B-cell lymphoma is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is usually treated with the R-CHOP regimen. However, some patients might develop interstitial pneumonitis (IP), which has led to death in some patients. With advances in detection techniques, infections are now considered to be an important etiologic factor in IP, particularly the common opportunistic causative agent Pneumocystis jiroveci. A retrospective cohort analysis at our center has tentatively elucidated that TMP-SMX can achieve effective IP prevention. There are no prospective studies to confirm the preventive effect of TMP-SMX and its mechanism.
