Abstract
Combined therapy with clindamycin and primaquine was used in twenty-eight episodes of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in 25 patients, of whom 17 had been unresponsive or intolerant to conventional treatment and 8 were being treated for the first time. The treatment was effective in all but two episodes, the main adverse reaction being a generalised maculopapular rash.
