MPA was associated with a higher risk of death in patients with vasculitis-PJP, possibly due to a higher prevalence of ILD. In clinical practice, we should pay more attention to the prophylaxis and management of PJP in patients with systemic vasculitis-associated ILD and/or MPA. Key Points • Data from this study showed that MPA was the most common subtype of vasculitis among vasculitis-PJP patients. • Compared with non-MPA patients in this study, patients with MPA were older, had more ILD and fibrotic ILD, and had a poorer prognosis. • In clinical practice, we should pay more attention to the prophylaxis and management of PJP in patients with systemic vasculitis-associated ILD and/or MPA.
