TL;DR: Upper airway pneumococcal colonization density among children hospitalized with World Health Organization–defined pneumonia was associated with microbiologically confirmed pneumococCal pneumonia (MCPP) and the optimal colonization density threshold was ≥7 log10 copies/mL.

TL;DR: Listening panel and case–control data suggests the methodology is feasible, likely valid and that small airway inflammation is common in WHO pneumonia.

TL;DR: Whether digitally recorded lung sounds are associated with radiographic pneumonia or clinical outcomes among children in low‐income and middle‐income countries is unknown and this work sought to address knowledge gaps.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described the patient population, etiology and outcomes of childhood pneumonia in Zambian HIV-infected children, including severe and very severe pneumonia, using Bayesian methods and accounted for imperfect sensitivity and specificity of measurements.

TL;DR: The clinical guidance tool was well-accepted and easy to use and succeeded in standardizing and improving care and was more effective among HIV-exposed but uninfected children and children younger than 6 months of age.
