Similar experience for me. We used it to treat PCP pneumonia. If my
memory is correct, it was used as an anti-protozoal. Always used in an
enclosed room.

Hi Di,
We used to use pentamadine in respiratory medicine for HIV patients
with PCP in the 80's. I'm sure I was told by Sr. that it was an
antibiotic that had been around for some time but had stopped being used
because of it's side effects. We used to have to sit patients in a small
room with some elephant tubing exhausting the nebulizer into the
atmosphere - (we were on the 5th floor). It was all very experimental
at the time.

Hello list
I had never heard of this substance so looked it up. Here is an
interesting article for anyone else who is interested.It doesn't mention
health surveillance , but does mention control measures.
Cheers
Diane
