Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

A hospital in Taiwan reviewed records of children and adults who tested positive for Moraxella catarrhalis, a common respiratory bacterium, to see how sick they got. This is a lung infection study with no kidney content. It looks back at existing records, so it can show links only. Off topic for a kidney digest.
