Pneumonia is a common illness that continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in both adults and children. Bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae are generally considered as the main pathoge

In this study, it is not certain whether respiratory infections were caused by viruses or bacteria, but rather bacterial respiratory infections seemed to be considered more. Another study, however, showed that viral infection symptoms confirmed by questionnaire were more frequent in patients with a ...
Conclusions The prevalence of viral infection in patients with HCAP was lower than that in patients with CAP, and resulted in a similar prognosis as viral–bacterial coinfection or bacterial infection. 展开 关键词: PNEUMONIA COMMUNITY-acquired pneumonia VIRUS diseases REVERSE transcriptase polymerase ...
Bacterial pneumonia can follow five pathologic patterns: (1) parenchymal infection, inflammation, and consolidation of a lobe or a segment of a lobe (lobar pneumonia, the classical pattern of S. pneumoniae; (2) primary infection of the airways and surrounding interstitium (bronchopneumonia, often...

However, in the overall cohort, LVEF improved significantly during follow-up, and the short-term prognosis remains favourable [43]. However, a trial is still lacking that takes into account the different aetiologies (different viruses assessed separately vs non-viral/autoreactive vs placebo) [44]...
The duration of uncomplicated influenza is 1-7 days. Prognosis is excellent. Most fatalities are due to secondary bacterial pneumonia. Enteroviral pharyngitis is usually benign and self-limited. References Patient Education Patient education should emphasize the natural course of viral infection and that...

In previous models of pneumonia, mortality has also been shown to be associated with high IL-6 levels [85]. IL-6 is an inflammatory cytokine that plays a central role in the coordination of innate and adaptive immunity. Its inhibition has been central to the management of various ...
