Sponsor's own description

Pneumonia is a major infectious cause of death worldwide and imposes a considerable burden on healthcare resources. Obstructive lung diseases (COPD and Asthma) are increasingly important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), and acute exacerbations of obstructive lung diseases commonly present with similar signs and symptoms. For antibiotic use, the rapid and accurate differentiation of clinically relevant of bacterial lower respiratory tract infections from other mimics is essential. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid has both extracellular and intracellular effects in mammalian cells. S1P is involved in many physiological processes including immune responses and endothelial barrier integrity. In term of endothelial barrier integrity, S1P plays a crucial role in protecting lungs from the pulmonary leak and lung injury. Because of the involvement in lung injury, S1P would be the potential biomarker of pneumonia. Based on the above evidence, S1P plays an essential role in the pathobiology of pneumonia was hypothesized.
