The demographics and comorbidities of patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) vary enormously but stratified treatment is difficult because aetiological studies have failed to comprehensively identify the pathogens. Our aim was to describe the bacterial microbiota of CAP and relate these to clinica...
BackgroundThe Infectious Disease Society of America/the American Thoracic Society (IDSA/ATS) minor criteria for severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) are of unequal weight in predicting mortality. It is unclear whether the patients with non-severe CAP meeting the minor criteria most strongly assoc...
Local inflammatory responses in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remain insufficiently elucidated, especially in patients with nonsevere CAP. In this study we determined local and systemic cytokine responses in CAP patients and correlated these with disease severity and other clinical parameters.Levels of...

Non-severe CAP patients with AKI in each of the four subgroups had higher probability of death associated with AKI at 1 year compared to those without AKI (log rank P<0.01 for all subgroups). AKI, acute kidney injury; CAP, community-acquired pneumonia; RIFLE, Risk, Injury, and Failure ...
The delay in resolution of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common clinical problem. Failure to improve after antimicrobial treatment is usually associated with the presence of advanced age, comorbidity, resistant pathogens, complication of pneumonic process or inadequate antimicrobial selection.1....
A NOMOGRAM FOR PREDICTING THE RISK OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY FOR PATIENTS WITH SEVERE COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA AKI were determined to include age, male gender, chronic renal disease, diabetes, and the utilization of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs)... C Chen,H Chen,QI Zhen,.....

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance, new pneumonia pathogens, and new drugs have prompted WHO to assemble an international panel to review the literature on childhood pneumonia and to develop evidence-based recommendations for the empirical treatment of non-severe pneumonia among children managed by...
