Severe community-acquired pneumonia is a clinical diagnosis with significant impact on healthcare management around the world, with the highest morbidity and mortality of all the forms of community-acquired pneumonia. Severe pneumonia patients usually require intensive care unit management, including vasopre...
It is not uncommon for young children to present with recurrent pneumonias, atelectasis, or bronchitis before symptoms and patterns of persistent asthma become apparent. 2. Other causes of coughing/wheezing are excluded: the differential diagnosis for young children with a clinical picture of asthma ...
Methods of source control for common ICU infections (adapted from Schmidt, 2011a) 4.2.2 Antimicrobial regimen A retrospective study, of over 18,000 patient admitted with community acquired pneumonia, concluded that if antibiotics were given within 4 hours of arrival at the hospital, a significant ...
As expected, both the generic severity scores and scores dedicated to community-acquired pneumonia were strongly associated with 28-day mortality. The two final selected models highlight the importance of age and acute organ failure, two prognostic elements readily available at initial evaluation of ...

Legionella pneumophilais a common, usually underreported and undiagnosed cause of community acquired pneumonia which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage rarely have been associated with legionella infection. We present a 61-year-old man with hypertension, diabetes ...
We also found that the pneumonia patients treated with corticosteroids showed the lowest lymphocyte differential and that the severity of pneumonia was associated with the lymphocyte count at presentation. From our findings and previous experimental and clinical studies, we postulated that hyperactive ...
