Abstract
We hypothesize that MMP-9 levels and the MMP-9/TIMP-1 molar ratio play a role in the development of CAP and are related to the severity of CAP. Based on our data, we suggest that incorporating plasma MMP-9 levels and the MMP-9/TIMP-1 molar ratio into a clinical evaluation will aid in CAP diagnosis.
