The present study evaluated the clinical spectrum of CAP in immunocompromised hosts and the role of respiratory viruses, as well as the yield of viral diagnostic methods. Conventional microbiological tests were routinely performed i...
متن کاملMRI of pneumonia in immunocompromised patients: comparison with CT.
PURPOSE Pneumonia is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in immunocompromised patients.

متن کاملEtiologic Agents of Candidemia in Pediatric Immunocompromised Patients
Abstract Background: Candidemia is the main cause of fungal nosocomial bloodstream infections and is related to meaningful mortality specially, in pediatrics. Mortality rate range from 5% to 71%, and it can reach as high as 81%. Delays in beginning of treatment have also been linked to intensified mortality. The epidemiology of Candida infection is changing from region to region. Regiona...
