Clinical Features of Severe or Fatal Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the most common causes of community-acquired pneumonia in children and young adults. The incidence of fulminant M. pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is relatively rare despite the high prevalence of M. pneumoniae infection. This literature review highlights the clinical features of fulminant MPP by examining the most recent ...

Pathogenesis of severe pneumonia [PDF]

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2017
Pneumonia is a common disease that becomes severe in a subset of patients, dependent on host biology including mechanisms of immune resistance and tissue resilience. This review emphasizes discoveries in pneumonia biology from 2016, highlighting questions and directions that are especially pressing or newly emerging.Novel cell-cell interactions ...

Evaluation of risk factors for severe pneumonia in children: the Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health study.

, 2012
As a case-control study of etiology, the Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) project also provides an opportunity to assess the risk factors for severe pneumonia in hospitalized children at 7 sites. We identified relevant risk factors by

SEVERE COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA

Critical Care Clinics, 1998
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is likely to be severe in the very elderly, and clinically significant in those with hepatic/ renal insufficiency, cardiopulmonary disease, or, impaired host defenses. Pathogens in mild, moderately severe, and severe CAP are the same. These pathogens determine prognosis, complications, and duration of therapy. Empiric
