A high α1-antitrypsin/interleukin-10 ratio predicts bacterial pneumonia in adults with community-acquired pneumonia: a prospective cohort study

Abstract Background Current microbiological tests fail to identify the causative microorganism in more than half of all pneumonia cases. We explored biomarkers that could be used for differentiating between bacterial and viral pneumonia in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods In...
