1. 1. Improved diagnosis and prediction of community-acquired pneumonia

   Författare :Alicia Edin; Anders F. Johansson; Anders Sjöstedt; Annika Allard; Thomas Schön; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Community-acquired pneumonia; infection; diagnosis; qPCR; metabolites; metabolomics;

   Sammanfattning : Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although there is wide variation in the microbial etiology, CAP may manifest with similar symptoms, making institution of proper treatment challenging. LÄS MER

3. 2. Streptococcus pneumoniae : epidemiological, clinical and serological studies

   Författare :Lars Å. Burman; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Streptococcus pneumoniae; incidence; predisposing factors; prognosis; serotyping; etiology of pneumonia; diagnostic methods; COA; CIE; pneumococcal serology;

   Sammanfattning : A retrospective study of invasive pneumococcal disease in patients from Greater Göteborg in 1964- 1980 identified 125 cases of meningitis, 305 of pneumonia, 61 of septicemia with unknown focus, and 17 with other manifestations, all verified by cultures from normally sterile body fluids. The incidence was several times higher in infants and in the elderly than in any other age-group. LÄS MER

4. 3. SLPI and soluble BTLA as immunological markers in severe bacterial infections

   Författare :Anna Lange; Olof Hultgren; Jonas Sundén-Cullberg; Peter Bergman; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; SLPI; sBTLA; sepsis; bloodstream infection; pneumonia;

   Sammanfattning : Clinical presentation, and outcome of infections are affected by host-, and etiology- (focus of infection and pathogen) related factors. The immune response is controlled by a network of regulating pathways. LÄS MER

5. 4. Diagnostic methods for bacterial etiology in adult community-acquired pneumonia

   Författare :Kristoffer Strålin; Åke Örtqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : The etiologic agent is often unidentified in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Development of new diagnostic methods has been encouraged. We aimed to develop a multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay for common bacterial pathogens and evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of this assay and of respiratory culture in CAP. LÄS MER

7. 5. Diagnostic and clinical aspects of invasive fungal disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

   Författare :Ola Blennow; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : In paper I, 99 patients who received reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) were followed with weekly fungal PCR during the first 100 days after HSCT. Patients with a positive fungal PCR result were randomized to either treatment with liposomal amphotericin B or no treatment. LÄS MER
