A novel regimen of sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim single strength one tablet twice weekly for Pneumocystis jiroveci Pneumonia (PJP) prophylaxis in lung transplant patients found no cases of PJP over an 8‐year period and may reduce the incidence of medication discontinuation due to adverse effects. ABSTRACT Background Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP)
