Significant finding of Bordetella holmesii DNA in nasopharyngeal samples from French patients with suspected pertussis. [PDF]
J Clin Microbiol, 2011 Pertussis is routinely diagnosed with real-time PCR based on insertion sequence IS481, which is not specific for Bordetella pertussis. We conducted a retrospective study using real-time PCRs specific for Bordetella pertussis and for Bordetella holmesii ...

Physicians' prediction for the assessment of atypical pathogens in respiratory tract infections
Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 21, Issue 6, Page 226-234, November 2020., 2020 Our study indicates that while physicians' predictions were associated with the detection of atypical pathogens, overestimation was observed. The criteria for atypical pneumonia did not perform well for accurately diagnosing atypical pathogen infection in patients with a fever and cough.
