Seasonal incidence of community acquired pneumonia and its mortality in Karachi - A multi-centric hospital based study
TL;DR: Winter, with its low temperatures and other co-existing conditions prevalent in the elderly population has significant contribution in causing increased admissions and expiries in this age group, and the respiratory viruses show increased inclination in causing CAP and therefore, demonstrate tropism for the winter season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality Predictive Scores for Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Children.
TL;DR: Although several scoring systems for the estimation of mortality in childhood CAP were developed in the last years, most of them come from developing countries and the results are not applicable to patients in developed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serology of Chlamydia pneumoniae in patients with chronic cough.
TL;DR: The association of chronic cough with serological evidence of Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. P) infection and a systemic inflammatory marker was assessed.

Mucosal-associated invariant T cells and Vδ2⁺ γδ T cells in community acquired pneumonia: Association of abundance in sputum with clinical severity and outcome
Rachel F. Hannaway,X. Wang,Marion Schneider,Sandra-Marie M. Slow,Jan O. Cowan,Ben Brockway,Matthew R. Schofield,Xochitl C. Morgan,David R. Murdoch,James E. Ussher +9 more
TL;DR: Sputum MAIT cell abundance was associated with interferon (IFN)‐α, IFN‐γ, and sputum neutrophil abundance, while Vδ2+ T cell abundancewas associated with CXCL11 and IFN-γ, therefore, MAIT and V δ2- T cells can be detected in sputums in CAP, where they may contribute to improved clinical outcome.

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.

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.
