Pathogen-specific host responses define distinct pneumonia endotypes in the human lung

2026-05-14

Abstract excerpt

Pneumonia is the leading cause of death from infectious disease worldwide. The diagnosis and treatment of patients with pneumonia lag behind other major conditions, relying on syndromic definitions that lack molecular resolution and ignore underlying endotypes. We sought to test the hypothesis that dynamic pathogen-specific host responses in the alveolar space represent distinct pneumonia endotypes linked to diffe...
