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.

  • Use of antibiotics in the last 14 days, including maintenance antibiotic therapy.
  • Control group 1 and 2 - Related healthy controls and unrelated healthy individuals
  • Active infectious respiratory complaints defined as defined as two or more respiratory symptoms (cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or sneezes);
  • Temperature >38.0 ⁰C;
  • Fits inclusion criteria for control group 3 or 4;

  • History of cystic fibrosis.
  • Control group 4 - Patients with exacerbation of COPD
  • Current pneumonia;
  • Recent exacerbation (<1 month) defined as increased respiratory symptoms with need of antibiotic and/or corticosteroid therapy;
  • Fits inclusion criteria for control group 3;
  • History of cystic fibrosis.

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)
