入选标准
- •Age 18 years or above;
- •Presentation at the emergency department (ED);
- •Working diagnosis of CAP at the ED with the presence of at least two of the following criteria:
- •New or worsened coughing;
- •Production of purulent sputum or change in sputum colour;
- •Temperature >38.0 ⁰C or ≤36.0 ⁰C (tympanic);
- •Auscultatory findings consistent with pneumonia, including rales, evidence of pulmonary consolidation (dullness on percussion, bronchial breath sounds, rales, or egophony), or both;
- •White blood cell count of >10x10^9 cells/L or <4x10^9 cells/L or >15% bands;
- •C-reactive protein level ≥30mg/L;
- •Dyspnea, tachypnea, (>20 breaths per minute), or hypoxemia (arterial pO2 <60mmHg or peripheral O2 saturation <90%).
- •New consolidation(s) on the chest radiograph or computed tomography (CT);
- •No other explanation for the signs and symptoms;
- •Control group 1 - Related controls
- •Being aged 18 years or above;
- •Close relative of the patient: relative defined as living in the same house as the CAP patient or daily contact;
- •Is at the hospital at the moment of inclusion of the CAP patient or is willing to come for testing within 7 days;
- •Control group 2 - Unrelated healthy individuals
- •Being aged 18 years or above;
- •Subject with a preoperative appointment with the anaesthiologist for a planned surgical procedure;
- •Age matched to a included CAP patient (+-10 years);
- •Time matched to a included CAP patient (up to 14 days after inclusion of the CAP patient);
- •Gender matched to a included CAP patient.
- •Control group 3 - Patients with stable COPD
- •Being aged 18 years or above;
- •Diagnosis of COPD confirmed with spirometry (GOLD criteria 2017)(76);
- •Stable disease.
- •Control group 4 - Patients with exacerbation of COPD
- •Being aged 18 years or above;
- •Diagnosis of COPD confirmed with spirometry (GOLD criteria 2017)(76);
- •Diagnosis of exacerbation of COPD: defined as an acute event characterised by a worsening of the patient's respiratory symptoms that is beyond normal day-to-day variations and leads to a change in medication (76).
- •Presentation at emergency department with the suspicion of an exacerbation.

结局指标
主要结局
Pneumococcal pneumonia with usual tests
时间窗: 1 day, day of inclusion
Occurrence of pneumococcal pneumonia proven by at least one of the routine microbiological tests (urine antigen test, blood culture and/or sputum culture). The difference between outcome measure 1 and 2 is the added diagnostic value.
qPCR diagnosed pneumococcal pneumonia
时间窗: 1 day, day of inclusion
Occurrence of qPCR proven pneumococcal pneumonia (CAP with S. pneumoniae detected by qPCR in at least one of the samples with a positive lytA qPCR and a DNA copy number above the determined cut-off value) using the cut-off value in at least one of the specimens at inclusion. The cut-off value will be determined in this study, see secondary objective.
次要结局
- Number of DNA copies of S. pneumoniae in all lytA qPCR positive study subjects(1 day, day of inclusion)
- CURB-65 scores(1 day, day of inclusion)
- Occurrence of positive lytA qPCR at 30 days after inclusion in CAP patients(30 days)
- Procalcitonin(1 day, day of inclusion)
