Use of TREM-1 Protein to Differentiate Viral and Bacterial Pneumonias in Intubated Children

NCT00645619 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2018-12-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a protein called TREM-1 can be used to differentiate viral and bacterial pneumonias in children who are on ventilator support. We propose that the level of TREM-1 will be significantly elevated in the lung fluid of children with bacterial pneumonia and viral with co-existing bacterial pneumonia than in children with pure viral pneumonia.
