Impact of preceding flu-like illness on the serotype distribution of pneumococcal pneumonia.
BackgroundEven though the pathogenicity and invasiveness of pneumococcus largely depend on capsular types, the impact of serotypes on post-viral pneumococcal pneumonia is unknown.Methods and findingsThis study was performed to evaluate the impact of ...

Usefulness of cellular analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for predicting the etiology of pneumonia in critically ill patients. [PDF]
The usefulness of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid cellular analysis in pneumonia has not been adequately evaluated. This study investigated the ability of cellular analysis of BAL fluid to differentially diagnose bacterial pneumonia from viral ...

Interstitial murine cytomegalovirus pneumonia after irradiation: characterization of cells that limit viral replication during established infection of the lungs [PDF]
Interstitial pneumonia associated with viral replication in lung tissue was observed after cytomegalovirus infection of total-body gamma-irradiated mice, whereas in noncompromised hosts the lungs were not affected and virus multiplication was restricted ...

Constrained pattern of viral evolution in acute and early HCV infection limits viral plasticity [PDF]
Cellular immune responses during acute Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV infection are a known correlate of infection outcome. Viral adaptation to these responses via mutation(s) within CD8+ T-cell epitopes allows these viruses to subvert host immune ...
