Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
In this work, we aimed to assess microparticle profiles, inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine profiles in pediatric patients with CAP. Also, we aimed to assess the effect of the use of wheat bran retention enema on microparticle profile and inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine profile in CAP to investigate the role of wheat bran as adjuvant therapy in the management of pediatric patients with CAP.	—
