Evaluation of Respiratory Specimens for Bacterial and Viral Pathogens by Real-Time PCR

NCT00275691 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 867

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Community acquired pneumonia(CAP) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of CAP from the microbiology perspective has been challenging. Recent reports suggest the utility of real-time PCR for rapid and accurate diagnoses of these pathogens. Real-Time PCR tests, using the LightCycler instrument, will be performed on excess or additional specimens after extraction of nucleic acid.
