Severe Community Acquired Pneumonia

La Revue du praticien, 2001
Community-acquired pneumonia is severe when hospitalisation is required. The diagnosis is based on pulmonary involvement (chest radiography) associated with vital signs abnormalities (mental status, temperature, blood pressure and ventilatory rate) or immunosuppression (neoplastic diseases). No specific causative pathogen could be incriminated.
