Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pneumocystis Pneumonia is increasing in Immunocompromised Non-HIV Infected Patients. The effects and safety of caspofungin and corticosteroids is not certain in this population. All Immunocompromised Non-HIV patients with respiratory failure were randomized into caspofungin and non-caspofungin group and corticosteroids and non-steroids group. The major outcome is 28 day mortality, the second outcome are time of respiratory rate decreases to less than 25 breath per minute, body temperature lower than 37.3℃.
