TL;DR: It can be hypothesized that the lack of an etiological agent in some clinical samples may result not only from the presence of unknown viral species, but also from imperfections in the detection methods used.

Lactate dehydrogenase as a prognostic marker of renal transplant recipients with severe community-acquired pneumonia: a 10-year retrospective study.
Ying Su,Min-Jie Ju,Jie-fei Ma,Guo-Wei Tu,Hong-Yu He,Zhun-Yong Gu,Yuan-Lin Song,Jing Zhang,Zhe Luo +8 more
TL;DR: Serum LDH levels and LDH kinetics early were independently associated with 90-day mortality in renal transplant recipients with severe CAP, and the prognostic role of LDH needs to be warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous Detection of 13 Key Bacterial Respiratory Pathogens by Combination of Multiplex PCR and Capillary Electrophoresis
Lu Xi Jiang,Hong Yu Ren,Hai Jian Zhou,Si Hong Zhao,Bo Yan Hou,Jian Ping Yan,Tian Qin,Yu Chen +7 more
TL;DR: This study revealed that the MPCE assay is a rapid, reliable, and high-throughput method with high specificity and sensitivity and has great potential in the molecular epidemiological survey of respiratory pathogens.

Amanda C Nascimento-Carvalho,Ana-Luisa Vilas-Boas,Maria-Socorro H Fontoura,Man Xu,Tytti Vuorinen,Maria Söderlund-Venermo,Olli Ruuskanen,Cristiana M. Nascimento-Carvalho +7 more
TL;DR: To assess the role of human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) as a causative agent of non‐severe community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children, a large number of children with suspected or confirmed cases of CAP are surveyed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dilemma of monotherapy or combination therapy in community-acquired pneumonia.
Konstantinos Z. Vardakas,Kyriakos K. Trigkidis,Katerina N. Apiranthiti,Matthew E. Falagas,Matthew E. Falagas +4 more
TL;DR: To study the factors associated with mortality in hospitalized patients with community‐acquired pneumonia treated with monotherapy or combination therapy, a large number of patients receiving monotherapy and combination therapy were diagnosed with pneumonia.

Gale G. Whiteneck,Susan Charlifue,Hans L. Frankel,M H Fraser,B P Gardner,Kenneth A. Gerhart,K R Krishnan,Robert R. Menter,I Nuseibeh,D J Short,John Russell Silver +10 more
TL;DR: Declines with age were found in measures of handicap and life satisfaction, but three quarters of those interviewed reported generally good health and rated their current quality of life as either good or excellent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes of death during the first 12 years after spinal cord injury
TL;DR: Though some cause-specific mortality rates for spinal cord injured persons have declined dramatically, many remain substantially above normal and improved methods for preventing and managing these fatal complications must be developed.

Risk factors for Clostridium difficile carriage and C. difficile-associated diarrhea in a cohort of hospitalized patients
TL;DR: C. difficile was a common Nosocomial infection on this ward, resulting in asymptomatic carriage more often than diarrhea and accounting for one-fifth of all cases of nosocomial diarrhea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Clostridium difficile Carriage and C. difficile-Associated Diarrhea in a Cohort of Hospitalized Patients
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective cohort study of 399 consecutive patients in a single ward over an 11-month period was conducted to identify risk factors for nosocomial C. difficile colonization and diarrhea.

Successful control of Clostridium difficile infection in an elderly care unit through use of a restrictive antibiotic policy.
Cliodna A. M. McNulty,Margaret Logan,Ian P. Donald,Debbie Ennis,Denise Taylor,R. N. Baldwin,Mira Bannerjee,Keith A. V. Cartwright +7 more
TL;DR: The use of narrow-spectrum antibiotics for hospital treatment of community-acquired infections in the elderly should be encouraged.
