High Pneumococcal DNA Loads Are Associated With Mortality in Malawian Children With Invasive Pneumococcal Disease

BACKGROUND: In bacteremia owing to Streptococcus pneumoniae, high bacterial counts at presentation have been shown to be predictive of the development of serious invasive disease. Using real-time PCR, we aimed to determine pneumococcal DNA loads in blood and CSF, and their relationship to cytokine c...
