Is Higher Viral Load in the Upper Respiratory Tract Associated With Severe Pneumonia? Findings From the PERCH Study

TL;DR: Although higher viral loads among pneumonia cases than controls for some viruses are found, the utility in using viral load of URT specimens to define viral pneumonia was equivocal and analysis was limited by lack of a gold standard for viral pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effect of Antibiotic Exposure and Specimen Volume on the Detection of Bacterial Pathogens in Children With Pneumonia

TL;DR: Antibiotic exposure and blood culture volume affect detection of bacterial pathogens in children with pneumonia and should be accounted for in studies of etiology and in clinical management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colonization Density of the Upper Respiratory Tract as a Predictor of Pneumonia-Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pneumocystis jirovecii.

TL;DR: There is evidence for an association between H. influenzae–confirmed pneumonia in children; the association may be particularly informative in epidemiologic studies and unlikely to be of diagnostic value in clinical settings.
