Is Higher Viral Load in the Upper Respiratory Tract Associated With Severe Pneumonia? Findings From the PERCH Study. [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND.: The etiologic inference of identifying a pathogen in the upper respiratory tract (URT) of children with pneumonia is unclear. To determine if viral load could provide evidence of causality of pneumonia, we compared viral load in the URT of ...

Epidemiology, co-infections, and outcomes of viral pneumonia in adults an observational cohort study [PDF]
, 2015 Advanced technologies using polymerase-chain reaction have allowed for increased recognition of viral respiratory infections including pneumonia. Co-infections have been described for several respiratory viruses, especially with influenza.

Impact of preceding flu-like illness on the serotype distribution of pneumococcal pneumonia.
PLoS ONE, 2014 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 ...

Procalcitonin and C-reactive protein for invasive bacterial pneumonia diagnosis among children in Mozambique, a malaria-endemic area. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Pneumonia is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in children worldwide. Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are used in developed countries to differentiate between viral and bacterial causes of pneumonia.

Clinicopathologic analysis of lethal influenza cases in 2009–2011
Журнал инфектологии, 2014 The authors conducted clinicopathologic analysis of 33 cases of lethal influenza caused mainly by influenza virus H1N1/California in northwest regions of Russia. Five types of structural changes in lungs were outlined: 1) massive serous-hemorrhagic edema

Usefulness of cellular analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for predicting the etiology of pneumonia in critically ill patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 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 ...
