I hope this helps the search. It is possible the translation is exactly the same as in English.
"pneumoniae polysaccharide (PnPs) in human sera..."
"For pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide (PCP), the specific antibody levels" -- capsular polissacarídica
"pneumoniae polysaccharide (PnPs) in human sera..."
"For pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide (PCP), the specific antibody levels" -- capsular polissacarídica

Dr Sue Levy (X)
: highly unlikely that these would appear in a medication list - Asker has ignored the request for more info - without it it's impossible but I imagine the abbrev. are instructions for the medications

PCP
pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
Pneumocystis carinii Pneumonia (PCP) - The BodyInformation resources on this common AIDS-related infection and its treatment from TheBody.com.
www.thebody.com/index/treat/pcp.html
If you provided the name of the medication (is it a state secret?) then as a doctor I would be able to confirm is this condition is appropriate.
As for PNPS, pneumoniae polysaccharide is not the name of a disease or condition. As well, the acronym is likely to be Portuguese rather than English, don't you think?

Pneumonia por Pneumocystis carinii (PCP)
Uma infecção dos pulmões causada por um tipo de parasita. É uma infecção oportunista perigosa para indivíduos que são sensíveis a infecção, tais como pessoas portadoras de AIDS ou leucemia. Os sintomas da PCP incluem febre, tosse seca e falta de ar.
Note that the acronym in Portuguese is also PPC - so it really would help if you could tell us the medication in question.

Discussion
The context was exactly as described in my question.
There was a list of medications in a report, each followed
by the disease or condition it was intended to treat.
Among those were the abbreviations I queried.
