Henry C. Baggett, +88 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Upper Respiratory Tract Co-detection of Human Endemic Coronaviruses and High-density Pneumococcus Associated With Increased Severity Among HIV-Uninfected Children Under 5 Years Old in the PERCH Study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated co-detection by sex in childhood pneumonia and found that more CoV+/HDSpn+ pneumonia was very severe compared with other groups for both males (13/22, 59.6%, P < 0.001) and females (10/21, 47.5%, P = 0.004) than other groups.
