Heparin-Binding Protein in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid as a Biomarker for Discriminating Severe Bacterial and Viral Pneumonia in Critically Ill Children
Objective. This study is aimed at exploring the ability to use heparin-binding protein (HBP) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) to differentially diagnose bacterial infection from viral infection for severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in critically ill children. Methods. A total of 181 ch...
