• 1 other identifier: PRO07040291
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 200

Brief Summary

The proposed study aims to provide current information, etiology and outcome of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), risk factors for for CAP in isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influencae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, chlamydia pneumoniae and Legionella. Risk factors, including patient demographics, comorbid illnesses, setting of presentation, causative organisms, antibiotic history, and resistance profiles will be assessed and outcome will be recorded.

Conditions

Streptococcus Pneumonia; Haemophilus Influencae; Mycoplasma Pneumonia; Chlamydia Pneumonia

Keywords

pnuemonia; influenca

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

streptococcus pneumoniae positive

You may qualify if:

• All patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influencae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, chlamydia pneumoniae and Legionella species infections during the time period the study will be reviewed. A community-associated pneumonia isolate will be defined as one which was recovered from a clinical culture from a patient at UPMC who had no established risk factors for infection with an antibiotic resistant organism. Established risk factors are defined as: Isolation of the organism two or more days after admission for hospitalization OR history of hospitalization, surgery, dialysis, or residence in a long-term care facility within one year before the culture date OR The presence of an indwelling catheter or percutaneous medical device (eg, tracheostomy tube, gastrostomy tube, or Foley catheter) at the time of the culture OR Previous isolation of an antibiotic resistant organism.

You may not qualify if:

• Does not meet entry criteria
