Highlights in Pulmonology

Simvastatin has a modest effect on Streptococcus pneumoniae infections

Using a murine mouse model of pneumonia, prolonged simvastatin therapy has a measureable effect on Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, but no effect on mortality. Mice were treated with simvastatin (1 mg/kg/d [low dose] or 10 mg/kg/d [high dose]) for 4 weeks, then infected with S. pneumoniae intrathecally. Mice treated with the high-dose regimen had less lung consolidation, decreased macrophage and neutrophil infiltration, decreased MCP-1, KC, and ICAM-1 production, and decreased bacterial titers in the blood 36 and 42 h post-infection. Despite these favorable physiologic effects, there was no effect on mortality compared to control mice treated with ampicillin 48 h post-infection.

Low D-dimer levels identify low-risk patients with community-acquired pneumonia

As published in the European Journal of Internal Medicine, there were no mortalities in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and low levels of D-dimer (< 500 ug/l). Of 147 patients in the study, D-dimer levels were elevated in those with severe CAP (2166 vs. 1630 ug/l), day 30-clinical failure (2228 vs. 1594 ug/l), early failure (2499 vs. 1669 ug/l), and non-survivors (3025 vs. 1680 ug/l). Importantly, D-dimer levels were not shown to be associated with clinical outcome based on multivariate analysis.

Bacteremia increases mortality risk in pneumococcal pneumonia

As published in the Journal of Infection, 114 of 981 (11.6%) of patients with pneumococcal pneumonia were bacteremic. Risk factors for bacteremia included immunosuppressants, age < 65 years, and diabetes mellitus. Patients with pneumococcal pneumonia and bacteria were at increased risk for mortality (28.6% vs. 8.5%). The combination of bacteremia, cerebrovascular disease, and septic shock had a strong association with mortality in patients with pneumococcal pneumonia.
