Sensitivity of acid-fast staining for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in formalin-fixed tissue.

abstract：RATIONALE:Although frequent, little is known about early-onset pneumonia that occurs in the postresuscitation period. Although induced hypothermia is recommended as a method of improving neurological outcome, its influence on the occurrence of early-onset pneumonia is not well defined. OBJECTIVES:To describe the incid...
