AB OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this retrospective study was to describe the
changes and the effect of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP)
prophylaxis on induced sputum sensitivity during these five last years
METHODS: An induced sputum examination was performed in 80 cases of PCP
over a 5-year period. RESULTS: The induced sputum were positive in 30
cases (sensitivity = 37.5%). This sensitivity changed very little during
these five years. Thirty of these 80 patients (37.5%) received PCP
prophylaxis at least for four weeks before PCP diagnosis. Induced sputum
sensitivity was 50% in the group with prophylaxis versus 30% in the
group without prophylaxis (p = 0.073). CONCLUSION: In our institution,
the induced sputum examination remains an interesting diagnostic
procedure for PCP. PCP prophylaxis does not seem to have effects on
induced sputum sensitivity.
