Clinical characteristics and risk factors of severe bocavirus‐positive pneumonia in children and a literature review

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
The study explored the clinical characteristics and risk factors of HBoV‐positive severe pneumonia in children. These findings indicate that HBoV can be identified in respiratory samples from children with severe pneumonia, denoting its role as a viral pathogen in hospitalized children with this condition.

Efficacy of microbial cell‐free DNA testing for detecting pathogens in pediatric patients with head and neck infections—An initial study

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
We investigate the utility of microbial cell‐free DNA (mcfDNA) from the blood to predict surgical culture results. In this study, only 26.9% of patients had mcfDNA results that were considered predictive of the causative organism(s). There was a significant burden of contamination in the cohort, emphasizing that dedicated protocols must be followed ...

Pneumonia Detection in Chest Radiographs [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this work, we describe our approach to pneumonia classification and localization in chest radiographs. This method uses only \emph{open-source} deep learning object detection and is based on CoupleNet, a fully convolutional network which incorporates global and local features for object detection.

Microbiota diversity and differences in the respiratory tract of children with pneumonia

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Differences in microbial communities in the upper and lower respiratory tract in patients with pneumonia were investigated in this study by sequencing the 16S rRNA genes in pharyngeal swabs and alveolar lavage fluid. Forty‐three subjects were enrolled in the study, and one upper and one lower respiratory tract sample were collected from each subject ...
