    • 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; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Background 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 ...

    • 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)
      Background 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) ...

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

      Siljan, William Ward; Holter, Jan Cato; 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; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Background 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 ...

    • Microbiological diagnosis of pleural infections: a comparative evaluation of a novel syndromic real-time PCR panel 

      Kommedal, Øyvind; Eagan, Tomas Mikal Lind; Fløtten, Øystein; Leegaard, Truls Michael; Siljan, William Ward; Fardal, Hilde; Bø, Bjørnar; Grøvan, Fredrik; Larssen, Kjersti Wik; Kildahl-Andersen, Arne; Hjetland, Reidar; Tilseth, Rune Hørgård; Hareide, Sølvi Kristine Øyen; Tellevik, Marit Gjerde; Dyrhovden, Ruben (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Current microbial diagnostics for pleural infections are insufficient. Studies using 16S targeted next-generation sequencing report that only 10%–16% of bacteria present are cultured and that 50%–78% of pleural fluids ...

    • Pleural Empyema Caused by Streptococcus intermedius and Fusobacterium nucleatum: A Distinct Entity of Pleural Infections 

      Dyrhovden, Ruben; Eagan, Tomas Mikal Lind; Fløtten, Øystein; Siljan, William Ward; Leegaard, Truls Michael; Bø, Bjørnar; Fardal, Hilde; Grøvan, Fredrik; Kildahl-Andersen, Arne; Larssen, Kjersti Wik; Tilseth, Rune; Hjetland, Reidar; Løes, Sigbjørn Suk; Lindemark, Frode; Tellevik, Marit Gjerde; Breistein, Rebecca Irene; Kommedal, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background - Many community-acquired pleural infections are caused by facultative and anaerobic bacteria from the human oral microbiota. The epidemiology, clinical characteristics, pathogenesis, and etiology of such ...
