Community acquired pneumonia [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2001
We live in an era when medical practice is increasingly regulated by guidelines and protocols. Ideally, such guidance should be evidence based, and in particular it is generally recommended that advice on medical treatment should be based on the results of adequately powered, double blind, placebo controlled trials or, some would say, better still, a ...

The Role of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Community-Acquired Pneumonia [PDF]

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2016
AbstractWith the notable exceptions of the United States and Canada in particular, the global burden of disease in adults due to invasive infection with the dangerous respiratory, bacterial pathogen, Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) remains. This situation prevails despite the major successes of inclusion of polysaccharide conjugate vaccines ...

Short report: Hospitalization for new‐onset heart failure in survivors of hospitalized COVID‐19

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Previous studies have reported an incidence of new‐onset heart failure (HF) among COVID‐19 survivors ranging from 0.7 to 8.5 per 100 person‐years, but they relied on administrative data for outcome ascertainment. Given the public health implications, a more accurate characterization of the HF burden post‐COVID‐19 is important. Methods and

The Usefulness of Lung Ultrasound for the Aetiological Diagnosis of Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Children

Scientific Reports, 2019
The aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is not easy to establish. As lung ultrasound (LUS) has already proved to be an excellent diagnostic tool for CAP, we analysed its usefulness for discriminating between the aetiologically different types

Synthetic Biology‐Based Engineering Living Therapeutics for Antimicrobial Application

Exploration, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights synthetic biology‐driven antibacterial strategies, focusing on three innovative approaches: engineered bacteriophages for precision bacterial targeting, reprogrammed microbes that detect quorum‐sensing signals or metabolites to release antimicrobials, and engineering mammalian cells that recognize pathogen‐associated ...

Diagnostic Performance of Plasma SP-D, KL-6, and CC16 in Acutely Hospitalised Patients Suspected of Having Community-Acquired Pneumonia—A Diagnostic Accuracy Study

Diagnostics
Community-acquired pneumonia is a common cause of acute hospitalisation. Identifying patients with community-acquired pneumonia among patients suspected of having the disease can be a challenge, which causes unnecessary antibiotic treatment.
