RESULTS: Individuals with periodontitis were three times as likely to present with NP (unadjusted odds ratio [OR unadjusted] 3.06, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.82 to 5.15) as those without periodontal disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
From 2,436 eligible ICU patients, 827 cases presented NP, with 18.3 episodes of VAP per 1000 ventilator-days. Most common findings were worsening oxygenation, purulent respiratory secretions and temperature increase.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The results demonstrated the difference in clinical presentation, microbial characteristics and outcomes between A. baumannii and A. nosocomialis nosocomial pneumonia, and supported that they are two distinct clinical entities. 2012 The Authors.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The diagnostic workup may offer additional data that should be interpreted in the context of the patient's condition. 5.[frca.co.uk]
If the patient receives appropriate antimicrobial therapy for 2 weeks and does not respond (ie, improved infiltrates findings on chest radiograph), initiate a diagnostic workup to detect nonbacterial infections (eg, herpesvirus type 1 [HSV-1] pneumonitis[emedicine.medscape.com]
The diagnosis of nosocomial pneumonia should be suspected in any patient with a new or worsened pulmonaryinfiltrate who meets any two of the following three criteria: leucocyte count above 10,000 or below 4000/µL, temperature above 38.3 C, and/or the[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nosocomial pneumonia is generally defined as a new pulmonaryinfiltrate on chest radiography, combined with evidence of infection expressed as fever, purulent respiratory secretions and/or leucocytosis, with onset at least 72 h after admission.[oxfordmedicine.com]
Obtain other tests that are related to the possible underlying causes of the pulmonaryinfiltrates; for example, if lupus pneumonitis is suspected, ask the patient about a history of SLE pneumonitis.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Patients eligible for inclusion were necessarily hospitalized with the presence of new radiological pulmonaryinfiltrate, purulent sputum, and signs of sepsis, thus requiring a parenteral antibiotic.[scielo.br]
PURPOSE: Results from studies comparing health care resource use (HCRU), costs of treatment, and cost-effectiveness of linezolid compared with vancomycin therapy in the treatment of hospitalized patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The cure rate was higher in the telavancin than the vancomycin treatment group in microbiologically evaluable patients with only Gram-positive pathogens isolated at baseline [85.0% (130/153) versus 75.2% (109/145), respectively; treatment difference ([ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The base case first-line treatment duration for patients with MRSA-confirmed nosocomial pneumonia was 10 days.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Limitations of the study included unbalanced treatment groups at baseline and number of patients excluded to reach the per-protocol group. Results of the ZEPHyR trial do not support routine use of linezolid for the treatment of MRSA pneumonia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The model is a decision-analytic analysis in which a MRSA-confirmed patient is simulated to utilize one of the treatments, using data from a clinical trial. Within each treatment arm, the patient can or cannot achieve clinical cure.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
