In severe cases, it is important to start empirical treatment with co-trimoxazole and steroids early, without waiting for microbiological confirmation, in order to reduce the high morbidity and mortality.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1080/08035250500544930https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16754564/restricted access616.24-002Pneumocystis cariniiinterstitial pneumoniaCiencias Biomédicas32 Ciencias Médicas
