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.

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 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 ...

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-

Severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.
Respiration; international review of thoracic diseases, 1977Four cases of severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection are reported which were treated in a single hospital over the course of 4 years. The difficulties in the diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infections are eminently demonstrated by these cases. Because of the fact that it generally takes 2-o weeks to make this diagnosis, the physician must utilize clues of ...

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 ...

Severe Staphylococcal Pneumonia Complicating Pyomyositis
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1982Severe staphylococcal pneumonia developed secondary to pyomyositis of the buttock in an adult male Melanesian in East New Britain, Papua New Guinea. Penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was cultured from the abscess, and S. aureus, together with Gram-negative organisms, were cultured from sputum.

DEFINING SEVERE COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA
Medical Clinics of North America, 2001Based on the recognition of the main pathophysiologic features of pneumonia and currently available data on prognosis and clinical severity assessment, key points for a definition of severe pneumonia are as follows: 1. Independent predictors of pneumonia severity are factors reflecting acute respiratory failure and severe sepsis or septic shock. 2.

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 ...

The Severity of ICU-Acquired Pneumonia
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2013Much controversy exists about pneumonia in intensive care-especially, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)-about its diagnosis and its attributable mortality. A better consensus exists about its prevention and its treatment. VAP occurs in already critically ill patients, and the relationship between preexisting organ dysfunction or failures and the ...
