Erdman,Eileen Schneider,Lauri A. Hicks,Richard G. Wunderink,Kathryn M. Edwards,Andrew T. Pavia,Jonathan A. McCullers,Lyn Finelli +31 more
TL;DR: The incidence of community-acquired pneumonia requiring hospitalization was highest among the oldest adults and despite current diagnostic tests, no pathogen was detected in the majority of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Detection and Characterization of Mycoplasma pneumoniae among Patients Hospitalized with Community-Acquired Pneumonia in the United States
Maureen H. Diaz,Alvaro J. Benitez,Kristen E. Cross,Lauri A. Hicks,Preeta K. Kutty,Anna M. Bramley,James D. Chappell,Weston Hymas,Anami Patel,Chao Qi,Derek J. Williams,Sandra R. Arnold,Krow Ampofo,Wesley H. Self,Carlos G. Grijalva,Evan J. Anderson,Jonathan A. McCullers,Andrew T. Pavia,Richard G. Wunderink,Kathryn M. Edwards,Seema Jain,Jonas M. Winchell +21 more
TL;DR: The P1 type 1 genotype and MLVA type 4/5/7/2 predominated and Macrolide resistance was rare, but proportions of types differed between children and adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Serology can be a helpful adjunct to RT-PCR for research-based assessment of the etiologic contribution of respiratory viruses other than influenza virus to CAP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of quantification methods for real-time PCR minor groove binding hybridization probe assays.
TL;DR: Two versions of the threshold crossing method, a second derivative maximum method, and a sigmoidal curve fit method were applied to a clinically relevant real-time human herpes virus type 6 PCR assay as well as an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) PCR assay that used an MGB Pleiades hybridization probe.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: More than 1 out of 7 RV-infected children aged <10 years hospitalized with CAP were viremic, suggesting that RV-C viremia may be an important diagnostic indicator in pediatric pneumonia.
