In 11 patients with pneumonia, no additional complications were observed, while, among patients without pneumonia, 6 of 28 (21.4%) presented one of the following complications: exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or of asthma (n = 4, 14.3%); petechial rush (n = 1, 3.6%); elevated ALT (n = 1, 3.6%). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and susceptibility to pneumonia measurement.
