Description:
Venous blood will be collected from 900 children hospitalized with pneumonia for the multiplex bead-based immunoassay and for tests that will be part of standard of care, including full blood cell count, bacterial blood culture, rapid malaria test and/or blood smear slide for malaria diagnosis. Also as part of standard of care in PVS, a nasopharyngeal swab will be collected, and analyzed in this study for viral PCR. Venous blood for the multiplex bead-based immunoassay will also be collected from 20 healthy controls to evaluate the precision of the biomarkers.
