Respiratory Investigation
Award
Comment of Awardees 2025
We are deeply honored to receive the Best Paper Award 2025 from the Japanese Respiratory Society. This recognition underscores the importance of accurate and timely pathogen detection in the clinical management of pneumonia and highlights the value of integrating advanced molecular diagnostics into routine respiratory care.
This work would not have been possible without the invaluable cooperation of the patients who participated in the study and the dedicated efforts of the medical and laboratory staff involved. We also sincerely thank the editors and reviewers of Respiratory Investigation for their insightful comments and rigorous evaluation, which greatly strengthened our manuscript.
We hope that our findings will contribute to improved diagnostic strategies and patient outcomes in respiratory infections, and we remain committed to advancing clinically meaningful research in this field.
Yours sincerely,
Osamu Hataji and co-authors
Respiratory Center, Matsusaka Municipal Hospital, Mie, Japan
