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.

Assessment of Pertussis Vaccine Protective Effectiveness in Children in the Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Background. Bordetella pertussis is a human pathogen which causes pertussis, or whooping cough. The diphtheria‐tetanus‐pertussis immunization has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality of pertussis globally. However, higher prevalence and resurgence of pertussis cases among both vaccinated and unvaccinated people has raised questions on the ...
