The development of pneumonia requires that a pathogen reach the alveoli and that the host defenses are overwhelmed by microorganism virulence or by the inoculum size. The endogenous sources of microorganisms are nasal carriers, sinusitis, oropharynx, gastric, or tracheal colonization, and hematogenous ...
The reported incidence of viral pneumonia (see the image below) has increased during the past decade. In part, this apparent increase simply reflects improved diagnostic techniques, but an actual increase appears to have also occurred. Depending on the virulence of the organism, as well as the ...

Another phase Ib/IIa, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (SEPCELL N°2015-002994-39) looked at the injection safety of AD-MSCs (injections on D1 then D3 of admission) for the treatment of several bacterial pneumonia acquired in ICU-patients [204]. 4.1.3. Cell-Free Based ...
After the fourth day, HAPE is unlikely; other diagnoses should be considered, such as pneumonia, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and spontaneous pneumothorax. The diagnosis of HAPE is made by clinical suspicion, based on the symptoms and on the detection of a reduced oxygen saturation of the ...
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), and the disease usually has a prolonged, gradual onset. M pneumoniae was first isolated in cattle with pleuropneumonia in 1898.
[69]. Pulmonary consolidation during pneumonia can cause an intrapulmonary shunt and a varying degree of V/Q mismatch, which can cause V/Q alterations, as reported in subjects with obesity, and can exacerbate hypoxemic respiratory failure [70]. Although no skin infection is specifically linked to...
[all deaths occurred in the first year of the trial and were caused by the following: general status alteration,n = 2; acute respiratory failure,n = 1; cardiac failure,n = 1; gastrointestinal bleeding,n = 1; and there were two cases of pneumonia that occurred at day ...

cardiovascular death, angina hospitalization, resuscitated cardiac arrest, and stroke by 23% [158]. However, adverse effects such as abdominal discomfort and nausea were observed in the treatment group [158]. Moreover, chronic colchicine treatment increased pneumonia frequency from 0.4% to 0.9%. ...
