Evaluation of acute and convalescent antibody concentration against pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides for the diagnosis of pneumococcal infection in children with community-acquired pneumonia [PDF]
We evaluated whether the quantification of IgG to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides is an accurate diagnostic test for pneumococcal infection in children with pneumonia in Nepal.

Death or survival from invasive pneumococcal disease in Scotland: associations with serogroups and multilocus sequence types [PDF]
, 2011 We describe associations between death from invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and particular serogroups and sequence types (STs) determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) using data from Scotland.

The Significance of Subperiosteal Abscess Volume in Acute Mastoiditis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Both needle aspiration and I&D are safe methods to reduce the infective and inflammatory load of subperiosteal abscess due to acute mastoiditis and provide pus for culture. Higher volumes (~3 cm3 and more) should be managed initially with cortical mastoidectomy since the risk of no improvement following needle aspiration or I&D is higher.

Early diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2000 Sir, Streptococcus pneumoniae is the commonest cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and benzylpenicillin is first choice for antimicrobial treatment of pneumococcal infections, unless resistance is a problem. Frequently, patients with CAP receive broader-spectrum antibiotics and macrolides because diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia on clinical ...

Stabilized Extracellular Vesicle Formulations for Inhalable Dry Powder Development
Small, EarlyView.Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promise for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment but face challenges with storage and delivery. This study demonstrates the stabilization of lung fibroblast‐derived EVs using inulin, enabling freeze‐drying and spray‐drying.

Pneumonia Detection in Chest X-Ray Images : Handling Class Imbalance [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 People all over the globe are affected by pneumonia but deaths due to it are highest in Sub-Saharan Asia and South Asia. In recent years, the overall incidence and mortality rate of pneumonia regardless of the utilization of effective vaccines and compelling antibiotics has escalated.

Bacteremic Pneumococcal Pneumonia in Children [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1999 We carried out a nationwide retrospective study on bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia diagnosed from 1985 to 1994 in Finland. The records of 85 children were reviewed for symptoms, signs, laboratory data, and response to antibiotic therapy. The chest radiographs were reevaluated.

Aging Cell, EarlyView.During spread of Streptococcus pneumoniae from the lung to the bloodstream, the pneumococcal pore‐forming toxin pneumolysin (PLY) disrupts apical junction complexes (AJCs) and triggers the transmigration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), which secrete tissue‐destructive neutrophil elastase.
