Abstract
Antimicrobial drugs that can be taken orally are needed for the treatment of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Preliminary data indicate that dapsone with trimethoprim may be an effective alternative to trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole, which is frequently toxic.Keywords
