Shanghai Changhai Hospital,Second Military Medical University

To identify the potential serum biomarkers with regard to the severity of pneumonia, and to further evaluate the prognostic value of these markers.

First, we will collect serum samples from patients with pneumonia. Then we will identify biomarkers differentially expressed between non-severe pneumonia and severe pneumonia. We will further evaluate the prognostic value of these markers for pneumonia.
