Most-cited papers in Pneumonia

The role of co-infections and secondary infections in patients with COVID-19

Charles Feldman, Ronald Anderson · 24 Apr 2021

BACKGROUND: It has been recognised for a considerable time-period, that viral respiratory infections predispose patients to bacterial infections, and that these co-infections have a worse outcome than either infection on its own. However, it is still unclear what exact roles co-infections and/or superinfections play in patients with COVID-19 infection. MAIN BODY: This was an extensive…

The definition and classification of pneumonia

Grant Mackenzie · 22 Aug 2016

focused on diagnosis, the journal's Editorial Board members debated the definition and classification of pneumonia and came to a consensus on the need to revise both of these. The problem with our current approach to the classification of pneumonia is twofold: (i) it results in widespread empirical, and often unnecessary, use of antimicrobials that contributes…

Necrotizing pneumonia: an emerging problem in children?

IB Masters, Alan Isles, Keith Grimwood · 6 Jul 2017

BACKGROUND: In children, necrotizing pneumonia (NP) is an uncommon, severe complication of pneumonia. It is characterized by destruction of the underlying lung parenchyma resulting in multiple small, thin-walled cavities and is often accompanied by empyema and bronchopleural fistulae. REVIEW: . The underlying disease mechanisms are poorly understood, but likely relate to multiple host susceptibility and…

COVID-19 pandemic is a serious concern in the new era. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and lung failure are the main lung diseases in COVID-19 patients. Even though COVID-19 vaccinations are available now, there is still an urgent need to find potential treatments to ease the effects of COVID-19 on already sick patients. Multiple experimental…

The remarkable history of pneumococcal vaccination: an ongoing challenge

Daniel M. Musher, Ronald Anderson, Charles Feldman · 24 Sep 2022

Although it varies with age and geographical distribution, the global burden of infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) remains considerable. The elderly, and younger adults with comorbid conditions, are at particularly high risk of pneumococcal infection, and this risk will increase as the population ages. Vaccination should be the backbone of our current strategies to deal…
