Body composition, physical capacity, and immuno-metabolic profile in community-acquired pneumonia caused by COVID-19, influenza, and bacteria: a prospective cohort study

C. K. Ryrsø, A. M. Dungu, et al.

This cohort study delves into the metabolic profiles, body composition, and inflammatory responses of patients with community-acquired pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2, influenza, or bacteria. The findings reveal a notable increase in inflammatory markers among COVID-19 patients, a crucial insight for understanding their unique clinical features. This research was conducted by Camilla Koch Ryrsø, Arnold Matovu Dungu, Maria Hein Hegelund, Andreas Vestergaard Jensen, Adin Sejdic, Daniel Faurholt-Jepsen, Rikke Krogh-Madsen, and Birgitte Lindegaard.
