Journal of Hospital Infection, 1992
The aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia is reviewed, and the identification of the most likely pathogens, based on clinical presentation, is discussed. By far the major pathogen in community-acquired pneumonia is Streptococcus pneumoniae; the relative frequency of other pathogens, and particularly the atypical pneumonias caused by Mycoplasma and ...

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2013
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality, especially in the elderly. Recent advances aimed at improving outcomes and reducing CAP disease burden are summarized.Emerging data suggests that newer CAP risk stratification indices based on disease severity hold promise in predicting intensive care need ...

SEVERE COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1999Although several pneumonia severity criteria have been firmly established, the exact definition of severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains elusive. Mortality from CAP remains high, reaching 50% in some series. The particular role of and spp. in severe CAP has been defined more clearly.

Community-acquired Pneumonia and Hospital-acquired Pneumonia
Medical Clinics of North America, 2019Pneumonia is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most likely cause in most cases, the variety of potential pathogens can make choosing a management strategy a complex endeavor. The setting in which pneumonia is acquired heavily influences diagnostic and therapeutic choices. Because the

COMMUNITY‐ACQUIRED ACINETOBACTER PNEUMONIA
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1989AbstractWe describe the first case report of community‐acquired Acinetobacter pneumonia in Australia. Well recognised risk factors for this entity (alcoholism, diabetes mellitus and chronic lung disease) were present in our patient. His pneumonia ran a fulminant course, with death occurring within 24 hours of presentation to hospital. Whilst rare, this

Severe community-acquired pneumonia
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2004Community-acquired pneumonia remains a prevalent and potentially life-threatening infection. In general, the disease is considered severe when inpatient care including ICU admission is required, and this often suggests a poorer prognosis. Severe community-acquired pneumonia continues to be an important subject of research from different perspectives ...

Community-acquired acinetobacter pneumonia
The American Journal of Medicine, 1979Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var anitratus, a nonfermentative grampnegative bacillus, has been infrequently reported as a cause of community-acquired pneumonia. In this paper we describe the course of six recent patients with community-acquired, bacteremic pneumonia due to this organism and review the six previously reported cases.

Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2009Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the leading cause of death from infectious diseases in the United States. It accounts for 500,000 hospitalizations and 45,000 deaths each year, and it represents one of the most common causes of ICU admission. The mortality rate due to severe CAP has shown little improvement over the past few years, with rates as ...

Severe community-acquired pneumonia
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1996Community-acquired pneumonia is an important public health concern and a recent focus of clinical practice guidelines. What has become clear from this renewed focus of attention is that a subgroup of patients with community-acquired pneumonia have severe disease with a differing spectrum of pathogens and prognosis.
