Bilateral Bloody Pleural Effusions With Discordant Cellular Patterns: A Case of Concurrent Parapneumonic Effusion and Dressler Syndrome [PDF]
Respirol Case RepThis case demonstrates a rare concurrent presentation of parapneumonic effusion and Dressler syndrome, which presented as bilateral bloody pleural effusions with discordant cellular profiles. The bloody nature was possibly exacerbated by the concomitant use of a direct oral anticoagulant and aspirin.

Changes in the incidence, viral coinfection pattern and outcomes of pneumococcal hospitalizations during and after the COVID-19 pandemic [PDF]
PneumoniaBackground The incidence of pneumococcal pneumonia in the context of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, along with the real-world data on the ratio of non-invasive to invasive pneumococcal pneumonia, is an area that has not been thoroughly

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 New diagnostic tests for the etiology of childhood pneumonia are needed. We evaluated the antibody-in-lymphocyte supernatant (ALS) assay to detect immunoglobulin (Ig) G secretion from ex vivo peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) culture, as a ...

Clinical and Microbiological Factors Associated with High Nasopharyngeal Pneumococcal Density in Patients with Pneumococcal Pneumonia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We aimed to study if certain clinical and/or microbiological factors are associated with a high nasopharyngeal (NP) density of Streptococcus pneumoniae in pneumococcal pneumonia.

Use of procalcitonin and C-reactive protein to evaluate vaccine efficacy against pneumonia. [PDF]
PLoS Medicine, 2005 Pneumonia remains the leading cause of death in young children. The poor specificity of chest radiographs (CXRs) to diagnose pneumococcal pneumonia may underestimate the efficacy of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in preventing pneumococcal pneumonia.The ...

Effect of pneumococcal conjugate vaccination on serotype-specific carriage and invasive disease in England: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
, 2011 We investigated the effect of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) programme in England on serotype-specific carriage and invasive disease to help understand its role in serotype replacement and predict the impact of higher valency vaccines.

Incidence of Hospitalized Pneumococcal Pneumonia among Adults in Guatemala, 2008-2012. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia worldwide. However, the burden of pneumococcal pneumonia among adults in low- and middle-income countries is not well described.Data from 2008-2012 was analyzed from two surveillance sites in ...
