“…BACKGROUND: Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) surgery, the gold standard for treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), is complicated by reperfusion lung injury (RPLI) in anywhere from 10-40% of cases. Postoperative pneumonia (PNA) following PTE is not well described, but its rates of 17-35% may be higher than expected compared to other cardiothoracic surgeries (5-6%, STS ACSD). …”

“…As there is scarce information about the usefulness of TTP, we study the relationship of TTP with clinical parameters in patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia. METHODS: TTP of all cases of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia, detected between January 1995 and December 2004 using the BacT/Alert automated blood culture system in a teaching community hospital was analyzed. …”

“…The primary objective is to try to demonstrate the hypothetical relationship between the use of transfusions and nosocomial pneumonia. Secondly, we will try to determine which other factors are implicated in the development of pneumonia in intensive care units and describe the incidence of pneumonia and transfusion practices. …”

“…Recent studies have suggested that combination antibiotic therapy is preferable to monotherapy for severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). In this issue Mortensen and colleagues present retrospective data suggesting that combination therapy with a cephalosporin and a fluoroquinolone is inferior to combination therapy with a cephalosporin and a macrolide. …”

Clinical isolates from patients with community-acquired pneumonia or otitis media often display resistance to two or more antibiotics. …”
