Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is most frequently caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, atypical pathogens, and respiratory viruses. Susceptibility to CAP can be increased by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene. We questioned whether MBL polymorphisms are associated with the susceptibility to and outcome of CAP and its most...
