The use of adjunctive corticosteroids in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe PCP has resulted in a significant improvement in the development of respiratory failure and mortality.\n\nPast studies have demonstrated no clinical benefit in patients with mild disease (pO2\\>75 torr on room air). This may have been due to the fact that few patients with mild disease develop either respiratory failure or die during the course of the acute illness so that a statistical difference could not be demonstrated.\n\nHowever, considering parameters other than mortality, there is some evidence to suggest that patients with high pO2 concentrations benefit from adjunctive corticosteroids. PCP is associated with the development of pulmonary fibrosis and this can have significant consequences. Pathological studies have shown the development of interstitial fibrosis late in the course of acute illness. Studies have documented the presence of diffuse interstitial pneumonitis five months after the onset of acute illness. Therefore, patients with PCP infection, regardless of their pO2 level on presentation may benefit from corticosteroid therapy.\n\nThe current standard of care therapy for patients with PCP does not involve the addition of corticosteroids to standard antibiotics in those patients with pO2\\>70 mmHG. This study propose to conduct a randomized, prospective, un-blinded clinical trial to explore the effects of corticosteroid therapy on pulmonary fibrosis in patients with mild PCP who are admitted to the George Washington University Hospital.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* HIV Infection,\n* Hospital admission for suspected PCP,\n* Confirmatory test for PCP (bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage), pO2\\>70 mmHg or pO2\\<70 mmHg while breathing room air,\n* 18 years or older\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Contraindications to corticosteroid therapy,\n* Unable and or unwilling to perform PFTS or to return for follow-up evaluations,\n* Underlying lung disease such as emphysema, untreated active tuberculosis, Uncontrolled diabetes (fasting glucose \\> 250 mg/dL,\n* Uncontrolled hypertension (160/95 mmHg),\n* Pregnancy'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00636935', 'briefTitle': 'Corticosteroids Therapy and Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia (PCP)', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'George Washington University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Oral Corticosteroids Therapy and Interstitial Fibrosis in Patients With Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia (PCP) and pO2 of >70 at Presentation.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'ARPCP001'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '1', 'description': 'Antibiotic only therapy in patients with PCP and a pO2 of \\> 70mmHg.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Antibiotics only']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '2', 'description': 'Antibiotics and Corticosteroid therapy in patients with PCP and pO2 \\>70 mmHg.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Antibiotics + Corticosteroids']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': '3', 'description': 'Standard of care therapy for patients with PCP and pO2 \\< 70mmHg.', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Corticosteroids + antibiotics']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Antibiotics only', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Antibiotic only for treatment for mild (pO2 \\> 70mmHg) PCP.
