Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Bacteria

Cynthia G. Whitney focuses on Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pneumococcal infections, Pediatrics, Immunology and Incidence. Her work carried out in the field of Streptococcus pneumoniae brings together such families of science as Penicillin, Internal medicine, Serotype and Antibiotic resistance. Her Pneumococcal infections research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Conjugate vaccine and Pneumonia.

Her research integrates issues of Pregnancy, Bacterial vaccine, Pneumococcal vaccine, Vaccination and Risk factor in her study of Pediatrics. Her research in Incidence intersects with topics in Epidemiology, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and Disease. Her research investigates the connection between Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and topics such as Meningitis that intersect with problems in Confidence interval.

Her most cited work include:

  • Infectious Diseases Society of America/American Thoracic Society Consensus Guidelines on the Management of Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Adults (4495 citations)
  • Update of Practice Guidelines for the Management of Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Immunocompetent Adults (888 citations)
  • Increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in the United States. (825 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her main research concerns Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, Pediatrics, Pneumococcal infections and Immunology. Her Streptococcus pneumoniae research includes elements of Penicillin, Internal medicine and Serotype, Virology. Her Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine research incorporates elements of Immunogenicity, Pneumococcal disease and Confidence interval.

Her Pediatrics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Epidemiology, Incidence, Pneumonia and Vaccination. Cynthia G. Whitney has included themes like Child mortality, Pneumococcal pneumonia and Intensive care medicine in her Pneumonia study. She interconnects Pneumococcal vaccine, Case-control study, Immunization and Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in the investigation of issues within Vaccination.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Streptococcus pneumoniae (44.74%)
  • Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (29.82%)
  • Pediatrics (25.88%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (29.82%)
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae (44.74%)
  • Pediatrics (25.88%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Cynthia G. Whitney mainly focuses on Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pediatrics, Pneumonia and Serotype. Her studies in Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine integrate themes in fields like Incidence, Pneumococcal disease, Case-control study, Vaccination and Pneumococcal infections. Her Streptococcus pneumoniae study contributes to a more complete understanding of Microbiology.

Her Pediatrics research incorporates themes from Outbreak, Epidemiology, Disease burden and Credible interval. Her primary area of study in Pneumonia is in the field of Community-acquired pneumonia. Her work in Child mortality addresses subjects such as Conjugate vaccine, which are connected to disciplines such as Intensive care medicine.

Between 2014 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Diagnosis and Treatment of Adults with Community-acquired Pneumonia. An Official Clinical Practice Guideline of the American Thoracic Society and Infectious Diseases Society of America (658 citations)
  • Intervals Between PCV13 and PPSV23 Vaccines: Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). (137 citations)
  • Vital Signs: Deficiencies in Environmental Control Identified in Outbreaks of Legionnaires’ Disease — North America, 2000–2014 (85 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Disease
  • Bacteria

Her primary scientific interests are in Pneumonia, Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Community-acquired pneumonia and Pneumococcal infections. Her Pneumonia study combines topics in areas such as Cohort study, Immunology, Health policy, Severity of illness and Conjugate vaccine. Her studies deal with areas such as Serotype and Pediatrics as well as Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

Her Streptococcus pneumoniae study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Microbiology. The Community-acquired pneumonia study combines topics in areas such as Guideline, Sputum and Ambulatory care. Her Pneumococcal infections research focuses on subjects like Meningitis, which are linked to Epidemiology, Pneumococcal disease and Infant newborn.
