Severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia
Respiration, 2009Four 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 2–3 weeks to make this diagnosis, the physician must utilize clues of ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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-

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.
