TL;DR: Quality of SECs may be a useful quality measure of induced sputum from young children with pneumonia, using isolated quantities of oropharyngeal flora and higher prevalence of potential pathogens as markers of higher quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Fourteen years after the first introduction of conjugate Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine in The Gambia, effective disease control was maintained, with associated low carriage and high seroprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Bed-sharing with someone with a cough is an important risk factor for severe pneumonia, and potentially tractable to intervention, while malnutrition remains an important tractable determinant.

TL;DR: The PERCH severity score could be used to interpret geographic variations in pneumonia mortality and etiology and the number of WHO danger signs on presentation to hospital could be the most useful of the currently available tools to aid clinical management of pneumonia.
