Figures & data

Table 1. Demographics of patients with radiographically confirmed community-acquired pneumonia.

Figure 1. Identification of S. pneumoniae by multiple diagnostic methods. UAD = urinary antigen detection assay. *n = number of subjects with nonmissing results from ≥1 diagnostic method. Results in this figure are mutually exclusive from group to group. Total number of subjects positive for S. pneumoniae (n = 80).

Figure 2. S. pneumoniae serotype distribution among isolates from S pneumoniae–positive patients tested by UAD assay and culture. PCV7 = 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; PCV13 = 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; NVT = non–vaccine type; UAD = urinary antigen detection.
