Combination of clinical symptoms and blood biomarkers can improve discrimination between bacterial or viral community-acquired pneumonia in children

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background Differentiating bacterial from viral pneumonia is important for guiding targeted management and judicious use of antibiotics. We assessed if clinical characteristics and blood inflammatory biomarkers could be used to distinguish bacterial from

Association of C-Reactive Protein With Bacterial and Respiratory Syncytial Virus-Associated Pneumonia Among Children Aged <5 Years in the PERCH Study. [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017
BACKGROUND.: Lack of a gold standard for identifying bacterial and viral etiologies of pneumonia has limited evaluation of C-reactive protein (CRP) for identifying bacterial pneumonia.

Bacterial co-infections in community-acquired pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2, influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background A mismatch between a widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotic agents and a low prevalence of reported bacterial co-infections in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections has been observed . Herein, we sought to characterize and compare bacterial

Probiotic-based nanoparticles for targeted microbiota modulation and immune restoration in bacterial pneumonia

National Science Review, 2022
While conventional bacterial pneumonia mainly centralizes avoidance of bacterial colonization, it remains unclear how to restore the host immunity for hyperactive immunocompetent primary and immunocompromised secondary bacterial pneumonia.

Bacterial Superinfection Pneumonia in Patients Mechanically Ventilated for COVID-19 Pneumonia

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2021
Rationale: Current guidelines recommend patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia receive empirical antibiotics for suspected bacterial superinfection on the basis of weak evidence.
