This review of pneumonia in the tropics is based on experience with respiratory infectons in Papua New Guinea since the 1970s. It discusses ideas, principles, historical aspects of pneumonia research and the need to work with people in the community. In order to understand pneumonia in a tropical setng and evaluate new interventons it is essental to study the ecosystem of the causatve infectons, within the host and the community and between interactng microorganisms. Vaccines are much-needed preventve tools, and for pneumonia in a highly endemic setng the preventon of severe and fatal disease takes priority over the preventon of infecton. In this setng mild infecton plays an important role in preventng severe disease. For achieving long-term sustainable outcomes, sometmes ‘less is more’. A multpronged approach is required to control and prevent pneumonia, and in devising new ways of doing so. This includes appropriate and accessible clinical care, a clean, smoke-free environment, good nutriton and a range of vaccines. Also required are persistent advocacy from the global scientfc community and strong engagement with and by the communites that bear the burden of disease. Beter health care must be pursued in conjuncton with raising literacy rates and reducing poverty.
这篇关于热带肺炎的综述是基于1970年代以来巴布亚新几内亚呼吸道感染的经验。它讨论了肺炎研究的思想、原则、历史方面以及与社区人员合作的必要性。为了了解热带环境下的肺炎并评估新的干预措施,必须研究宿主和群落内以及相互作用的微生物之间的致病感染生态系统。疫苗是急需的预防工具,对于高度流行的肺炎来说,预防严重和致命疾病比预防感染更重要。在这种情况下,轻微感染在预防严重疾病方面起着重要作用。为了实现长期可持续的成果,有时“少即是多”。需要采取多管齐下的办法来控制和预防肺炎,并设计这样做的新方法。这包括适当和可获得的临床护理、清洁无烟的环境、良好的营养和一系列疫苗。还需要全球科学界坚持不懈的宣传,并与承担疾病负担的社区进行强有力的接触。在提高识字率和减少贫困的同时,必须追求更好的保健。

Commentary Pneumonia - Forgotten No More Chapman, P.L. Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children worldwide and kills an estimated 1.2 million children under the age of five every year; more than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. Relatively few resources have been committed to addressing the problem of childhood pneumonia, particularly in resource poor  settings. Yet effective interventions are available but reach too few children.

There are limited examples of population-based approaches that engage a broad range of stakeholders for prevention of pneumonia. In 2010, a multi-dimensional public-private partnership was established around World Pneumonia Day (WPD) in Seoul, Korea and included the following components: a) formation of an expert advisory group, b) creation of educational materials tailored for lay persons, c) creation of a dedicated WPD internet website in the local language, d) organisation of a WPD venue in central Seoul, e) creation of video and social networking messages for wide distribution, and f) engagement of parents, health-care professionals, public health agencies and policymakers. This project directly engaged 7 expert health professionals, 5 national- and city-level health facilities, and parents from communities. The program reached out to 70,560 persons including 25,200 persons who were contacted in person at publicly-held WPD events. An educational video produced for WPD was aired in the Seoul subway and visible to several million persons riding subway lines that aired the pneumonia public service announcements over a two-month period (February to March, 2011). In addition, the Korean WPD website experienced 4,975 page views with 3,338 visitors and the micro blog associated with this site hosted 82 posts from site visitors. Based on participant numbers and contact volumes achieved in this project, the Korean WPD program was widely accepted and proved to be a highly effective in reaching a large audience to advocate for pneumonia prevention. One key to success of this program appears to be the unique public-private partnership around a major health issue. The methods and tools developed in this program have excellent potential for adaptation and application in other countries where pneumonia may be an under recognised problem among the general public.
基于人群的方法使广泛的利益攸关方参与预防肺炎的例子有限。2010年,在韩国首尔世界肺炎日前后,建立了一个多方面的公私伙伴关系,包括以下内容:a)成立一个专家咨询小组,b)编写适合非专业人士的教育材料,c)用当地语言创建一个世界残疾人大会专用互联网网站,d)在首尔市中心组织一个世界残疾人大会场地,e)制作视频和社交网络信息以供广泛分发,f)家长、保健专业人员、公共卫生机构和决策者的参与。该项目直接聘请了7名专家卫生专业人员、5家国家级和市级卫生机构以及社区家长。该计划接触了70,560人,其中25,200人是在公开举行的WPD活动中亲自接触的。为WPD制作的教育视频在首尔地铁播放,在2个月(2011年2月~ 3月)期间,乘坐播放肺炎公益广告的地铁的数百万人都能看到。此外,韩国WPD网站的网页浏览量为4,975次,访问量为3,338人,与该网站相关的微博上有82篇来自网站访问者的帖子。根据该项目的参与者人数和接触人数,韩国的WPD项目得到了广泛接受,并被证明在宣传肺炎预防方面非常有效。该规划成功的一个关键似乎是围绕一个重大卫生问题建立的独特的公私伙伴关系。在这个项目中开发的方法和工具在其他国家具有极好的适应和应用潜力,在这些国家,肺炎可能是普通公众未认识到的问题。

Delivering vaccines for the prevention of pneumonia - programmatic and financial issues. 提供预防肺炎的疫苗——方案和财政问题。
IF 6.8 Q1 RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Pub Date : 2013-02-14 eCollection Date: 2013-01-01 DOI: 10.15172/pneu.2013.2/244

Pneumonia is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children younger than 5 years. Vaccines are available against the main bacterial pathogens Haemophilus influenzae type b and Streptococcus pneumoniae. There are also vaccines against measles and pertussis; diseases that can predispose a child to pneumonia. Partners such as the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI), the Hib Initiative, the Accelerated Development and Introduction Plan for pneumococcal vaccines and the Measles Initiative, have accelerated the introduction of vaccines into developing countries. Whilst significant improvements in vaccine coverage have occurred globally over the past decade, there still remains an urgent need to scale-up key pneumonia protection and treatment interventions as identified in the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia (GAPP). There is promise that global immunisation will continue to improve child survival. However, there are several challenges to vaccine implementation that must first be addressed, including: a lack of access to under-served and marginalised populations; inadequate planning and management; a lack of political commitment; weak monitoring and surveillance programmes and assured sustainable finance and supply of quality vaccines. There is an urgent need to increase global awareness of the devastation that pneumonia brings to the worlds poorest communities.

肺炎是5岁以下儿童发病率和死亡率的主要原因。可获得针对主要细菌病原体b型流感嗜血杆菌和肺炎链球菌的疫苗。还有针对麻疹和百日咳的疫苗;使儿童易患肺炎的疾病。全球疫苗和免疫联盟、Hib倡议、肺炎球菌疫苗加速开发和引进计划以及麻疹倡议等合作伙伴加快了向发展中国家引进疫苗的步伐。尽管在过去十年中,全球疫苗覆盖率显著提高,但仍迫切需要扩大《全球预防和控制肺炎行动计划》中确定的关键肺炎保护和治疗干预措施。全球免疫接种有望继续提高儿童生存率。然而,必须首先解决疫苗实施方面的几个挑战,包括:缺乏服务不足和边缘化人群的机会;规划和管理不足;缺乏政治承诺;监测和监测方案薄弱,确保了可持续的资金和高质量疫苗的供应。迫切需要提高全球对肺炎给世界上最贫穷社区带来的破坏的认识。

Pneumonia is caused by respiratory bacteria and/or viruses. Little is known if co-infections are an aggravating factor in hospitalised children with severe pneumonia. We studied the impact of respiratory pathogens on the severity of pneumonia. Between 2007 and 2009, 52 children hospitalised with a well-documented diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), with or without parapneumonic empyema (PPE), were enrolled in the study. The patients were classified into 2 groups: CAP + PPE (n = 28) and CAP (n = 24). The identification of respiratory viruses and bacteria in nasopharyngeal aspirates and pleural effusion samples were performed using conventional bacterial techniques and molecular assays. Using real-time multiplex PCR and antigen detection, Streptococcus pneumoniae was the main agent identified in 76% of the cases by molecular tests and BinaxNOW® in pleural fluid. A total of 8% of pleural fluid samples remained undiagnosed. In nasopharyngeal aspirates, rhinovirus, parainfluenza viruses, human metapneumovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus were detected in both CAP and CAP + PPE populations; however, the percentage of viral co-detection was significantly higher in nasopharyngeal aspirates from CAP + PPE patients (35%) compared with CAP patients (5%). In conclusion, viral co-detection was observed mainly in patients with more severe pneumonia. Molecular biology assays improved the pathogens detection in pneumonia and confirmed the S. pneumoniae detection by BinaxNOW® in pleural effusion samples. Interestingly, the main S. pneumoniae serotypes found in PPE are not the ones targeted by the heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
肺炎是由呼吸道细菌和/或病毒引起的。对于患有严重肺炎的住院儿童,合并感染是否是一个加重因素尚不清楚。我们研究了呼吸道病原体对肺炎严重程度的影响。在2007年至2009年期间,52名诊断为社区获得性肺炎(CAP)的住院儿童,伴有或不伴有肺旁脓肿(PPE),被纳入研究。将患者分为CAP + PPE组(n = 28)和CAP组(n = 24)。采用常规的细菌技术和分子检测方法对鼻咽吸出液和胸腔积液样本进行呼吸道病毒和细菌的鉴定。采用实时多重PCR和抗原检测,通过分子检测和BinaxNOW®胸膜液检测,76%的病例中发现肺炎链球菌是主要病原体。总共有8%的胸膜液样本未被诊断。在鼻咽吸入物中,CAP和CAP + PPE人群均检测到鼻病毒、副流感病毒、人偏肺病毒和呼吸道合胞病毒;然而,CAP + PPE患者鼻咽吸入物中病毒共检测的百分比(35%)明显高于CAP患者(5%)。总之,病毒共检主要见于重症肺炎患者。分子生物学检测提高了肺炎病原菌的检出率,证实了BinaxNOW®在胸腔积液标本中的肺炎链球菌检出率。有趣的是,PPE中发现的主要肺炎链球菌血清型并不是七价肺炎球菌结合疫苗所针对的血清型。

Molecular methods offer improvement in the detection of causative pneumonia pathogens, but there are concerns of false positive results. Here we validate quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assays for the detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae in: (a) spiked serum samples and (b) in matched serum and nasopharyngeal swabs from a population of Indigenous Australian children without pneumonia, but with a high nasopharyngeal carriage prevalence of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae. Matched sera and nasopharyngeal swabs were selected from Indigenous children less than 5 years of age without a diagnosis of pneumonia. Specimens were assayed by qPCR targeting the lytA and glpQ genes from S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae, respectively. Using qPCR, neither S. pneumoniae nor H. influenzae DNA was detected in serum samples, even after concentration of serum DNA. In matched nasopharyngeal swabs, bacterial load was high with up to 106 cells/ml detected by qPCR. In this cohort of children with a high nasopharyngeal carriage, prevalence and bacterial load of pneumonia pathogens, qPCR on sera would not have produced a false pneumonia diagnosis. Thus, qPCR analysis of sera appears to be an appropriate method to aid aetiological diagnosis of pneumonia in this population.
分子方法为肺炎病原体的检测提供了改进,但也存在假阳性结果的担忧。在这里,我们验证了实时荧光定量PCR (qPCR)检测肺炎链球菌和流感嗜血杆菌的方法:(a)加标血清样本和(b)匹配的血清和鼻咽拭子样本,这些样本来自澳大利亚土著儿童,他们没有肺炎,但鼻咽携带肺炎链球菌和流感嗜血杆菌的比例很高。从没有肺炎诊断的5岁以下土著儿童中选择匹配的血清和鼻咽拭子。采用qPCR方法分别检测肺炎链球菌和流感嗜血杆菌lytA和glpQ基因。使用qPCR,即使在血清DNA浓缩后,也未在血清样本中检测到肺炎链球菌和流感嗜血杆菌的DNA。在匹配的鼻咽拭子中,细菌载量很高,qPCR检测到106个细胞/ml。在这组具有高鼻咽部携带率、患病率和肺炎病原体细菌负荷的儿童中,血清上的qPCR不会产生错误的肺炎诊断。因此,血清qPCR分析似乎是一种适当的方法,以帮助在这一人群肺炎的病原学诊断。

Oxygen is a World Health Organisation listed essential drug yet provision of oxygen in developing countries often fails to meet demand. The aim of this study was to evaluate the need for supplementary oxygen against oxygen delivery capacity at a large teaching hospital in Malawi. A cross-sectional study of all adult medical inpatients and assessment of oxygen provision over a 24-hour period was conducted. 144 patients were included in the study, 14 of whom met local and international criteria for oxygen therapy (oxygen saturations of <90%). Four were receiving oxygen. Of the 8 oxygen concentrators available, only 4 were functional. In conclusion, we identified a need for oxygen that was greater than the supply.
氧气是世界卫生组织列出的一种基本药物,但发展中国家的氧气供应往往不能满足需求。本研究的目的是根据马拉维一家大型教学医院的供氧能力来评估补充氧气的需求。对所有成年住院病人进行了横断面研究,并对24小时内的氧气供应进行了评估。144例患者纳入研究,其中14例符合当地和国际氧疗标准(氧饱和度<90%)。其中4人正在吸氧。在可用的8个氧气浓缩器中,只有4个功能正常。总之,我们确定了对氧气的需求大于供应。
