BACKGROUND: Effective treatment of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) requires therapeutic serum concentrations of 5-10 microg/ml trimethoprim (TMP); consequently intravenous trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) is recommended therapy. However, oral therapy is desirable as the intravenous route is costly, time-consuming, more difficult to administer and carries a risk of needlestick injury.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether therapeutic TMP levels for treatment of PCP can be attained with oral therapy in HIV-infected children.
METHODS: A prospective dose-escalation study was undertaken of serum TMP levels attained following oral doses of TMP of 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg in stable HIV-infected children. Children who received a 20 mg/kg dose were randomised to get a second dose (5 or 10 mg/kg TMP) at 6 hours. TMP levels were measured at baseline, peak (3 hours), and trough (6 hours) using liquid chromatography. An additional TMP level was taken at 9 hours in those who received a second TMP dose.
RESULTS: Median (25th-75th percentile) peak serum TMP levels following a 5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg oral loading dose were 0.93 (0.5-1.5) microg/ml, 1.94 (1.4-2.2) microg/ml and 7.68 (6.1-7.8) microg/ml respectively. Peak TMP levels at 9 hours after a second TMP dose of 5 or 10 mg/kg were 6.98 (3.4-8.8) microg/ml and 9.25 (8.2-10.3) microg/ml respectively.
CONCLUSION: Therapeutic concentrations of TMP for treatment of P. jiroveci can be attained with an oral loading dose of 20 mg/kg and sustained with a second dose at 6 hours of either 5 mg or 10 mg/kg in stable HIV-infected children.
