Pneumonia
in children of all age groups has a strong association with morbidity. This highlights
the importance of studying the clinical and diagnostic aspects of
community-acquired pneumonia. For those suffering from pneumonia, general
biological patterns, in some cases, outstrip morphological changes in tissues
and therefore biological changes can be considered as early signs of the
development of the disease. Through this research, we looked at the possibility
of using proinflammatory cytokines in the urine, by a non-invasive method, to
assess the prognosis of community-acquired pneumonia in children.
A
new publication of interest:
“To
study the possibility of using IL-6 content in biological fluids in order to
predict the severity of community-acquired pneumonia in children.”
