    • Cytokine responses, microbial aetiology and short-term outcome in community-acquired pneumonia 

      Siljan, William Ward; Holter, Jan Cato; Nymo, Ståle Haugset; Husebye, Einar; Ueland, Thor; Aukrust, Pål; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Heggelund, Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-24)
      Background:<br> The inflammatory response to community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is orchestrated through activation of cytokine networks and the complement system. We examined the association of multiple cytokines and the terminal complement complex (TCC) with microbial aetiology, disease severity and shortterm outcome.<br> Materials and methods: <br>Plasma levels of 27 cytokines and TCC were ...

    • Hepcidin predicts 5-year mortality after community-acquired pneumonia 

      Oppen, Kjersti; Ueland, Thor; Michelsen, Annika Elisabet; Aukrust, Pål; Steinsvik, Trude; Skadberg, Øyvind; Brede, Cato; Siljan, William Ward; Husebye, Einar; Holter, Jan Cato; Heggelund, Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-20)
      Background: Virtually all living organisms, including microbes and humans, depend on iron to survive and grow. During an infection, the plasma level of iron and several iron-related proteins change substantially. We hypothesized that iron and iron-related proteins could predict short- and long-term outcomes in community-acquired pneumonia.<p> <p>Methods: Blood samples from a prospective cohort ...

    • Inflammatory biomarkers are associated with aetiology and predict outcomes in community-acquired pneumonia: Results of a 5-year follow-up cohort study 

      Siljan, William Ward; Holter, Jan Cato; Michelsen, Annika; Nymo, Stig Haugset; Lauritzen, Trine; Oppen, Kjersti; Husebye, Einar; Ueland, Thor; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Aukrust, Pål; Heggelund, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      <b>Background</b><br> Biomarkers may facilitate clinical decisions in order to guide antimicrobial treatment and prediction of prognosis in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We measured serum C-reactive protein, procalcitonin (PCT) and calprotectin levels, and plasma pentraxin 3 (PTX3) and presepsin levels, along with whole-blood white cell counts, at three time-points, and examined their association ...

    • Low levels of immunoglobulins and mannose-binding lectin are not associated with etiology, severity, or outcome in community-acquired pneumonia 

      Siljan, William Ward; Nymo, Ståle Haugset; Husebye, Einar; Ueland, Thor; Skattum, Lillemor; Bosnes, Vidar; Garred, Peter; Frøland, Stig Sophus; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Aukrust, Pål; Heggelund, Lars (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-05)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Disease severity and outcome in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) depend on the host and on the challenge of the causal microorganism(s). We measured levels of immunoglobulins (Igs) and complement in 257 hospitalized adults with CAP and examined the association of low levels of Igs or complement to microbial etiology, disease severity, and short-term and long-term ...
