摘要：

Purpose of the Review The aim of this work is to contribute to the knowledge of the epidemiology of pneumocystosis or Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) in Venezuela, by an updated review of the information currently available. Recent Findings The PCP epidemiology in Venezuela is not formally known. There is no national surveillance program for mycosis, and systemic mycoses are not mandatory notification diseases. Efforts made to record the disease in our country have not been sufficient; therefore, there is a sub-registry. All the information carried out prevents comparisons with other reports due to the variations in study designs, heterogeneity of the studied patients, and diagnostic methods. This review summarizes the current knowledge about PCP epidemiology in Venezuela based on available national publications. The contributions of these studies are very valuable, since they reflect the need for systematic PCP study, not only in AIDS patients, but in cancer and COPD patients.
