Medical Clinics of North America
Severe pneumonia is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Being a complex condition caused by a variety of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, it requires intensive care. A combination of early initiation of antimicrobial therapy and adjunctive nonantimicrobial interventions improve patient outcomes.

Comparison of Severe Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia with Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia
Lung, 2013We compared the demographic characteristics and outcomes of patients with severe healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) to those with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).This was a retrospective study of prospectively collected data from all consecutive patients with severe pneumonia who were admitted to the hospital through the emergency ...

Postgraduate Medicine, 1999
Relatively simple objective criteria are now available to predict which patients are at risk for bad outcomes from community-acquired pneumonia. In general, these include older patients and those with certain coexisting illnesses (especially neoplastic disease) or findings of altered mental status, hypotension, severe tachycardia, tachypnea, fever ...

British journal of hospital medicine, 1982
The successful management of severe pneumonia involves a logical approach to antibiotic therapy, based on selecting drugs active against the most likely pathogen in each individual case while awaiting possible identification of an organism. In patients who deteriorate, more invasive diagnostic procedures should be considered in combination with broader-

Chlamydia pneumoniae and Severity of Asthma
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2002A substantial increase in the prevalence of asthma in the Western world during the last few decades has led to a continuous search for novel factors that might be involved in the development of the disease. We carried out a study to clarify whether there is a relationship between severity of asthma and Chlamydia pneumoniae-specific titres at the group ...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia associated with severe neutropenia
La Revue de Médecine InterneCold agglutinin haemolytic anaemia, aplastic anaemia, immune thrombocytopaenia and hemophagocytosis are well-established complications of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. In contrast, severe neutropenia has rarely been described.We report the case of a 71-year-old with systemic lupus erythematosus who presented with severe febrile neutropenia (0.2G/L ...

Legionella as a Cause of Severe Pneumonia
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2000Legionella pneumophila has been found to be a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia in patients who required intensive care unit (ICU) admission. In many studies, the clinical manifestations for Legionnaires' disease were more severe and the mortality was higher when compared with pneumonias of other etiology.

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 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 ...

Severe pneumonia and a second antibiotic
The Lancet, 2002Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of community acquired pneumonia (CAP) and the pathogen causing most deaths. CAP management guidelines in North America and the UK recommended that patients with severe pneumonia be given initially a combination antibiotic therapy.
