Community Acquired Pneumonia
  • Definition
  • An acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma
  • Accompanied by the presence of an acute
    infiltrate on a chest radiograph, or auscultatory
    findings consistent with pneumonia
  • Patient not hospitalized or residing in a long
    term care facility for gt 14 days before onset of
    symptoms.

Clinical Diagnosis of CAP
  • There are no distinctive clinical features that
    are diagnostic for any specific microbial agent.
  • Since clinical manifestations of CAP are not
    specific for various microbial agents, the need
    for improved diagnostic technology continues to
    be clinically relevant.

Applying the CURB-65 Rule

Combination Therapy in Severe CAP
  • Prospective, multicenter observational study of
    844 adults with bacteremia due to S. pneumoniae
  • Among critically ill patients, mortality
    significantly reduced 23.4 vs. 55.3, P0.0015

50
How Long Should You Treat?
  • No good randomized controlled trials on which to
    base definitive guidelines
  • Use experience and clinical judgment
  • In general, the more severe the initial
    presentation, the longer the treatment course
    should be

51
How Long Should You Treat?
  • A generally accepted approach for outpatients and
    non-ICU inpatients
  • S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae and other typical
    bacterial organisms (to include gram negative
    organisms) treat for 7 to 10 days
  • Mycoplasma, Chalmydia and Legionella species
    treat for 10 to 14 days
  • Influenza A (to include H5N1) and B
  • Oseltamivir - 75 mg, PO, BID for 5 days
  • Zanamivir 2 inhalations (2x5mg), BID for 5 days

52
Switch To Oral Therapy
  • As soon as possible after the patient is stable
    and shows signs of clinical improvement
  • Criteria for switching to oral agents
  • Improvement in cough and dyspnea
  • Hemodynamically stable (Pulse lt 100, SBP gt 90
    mmHg)
  • SaO2 gt 90 on room air
  • RR lt 24 per minute
  • Afebrile (lt37.8oC) on 2 occasions 8 hours apart
  • Decreasing WBC
  • Functional gastrointestinal tract
  • Able to tolerate oral intake
  • In general, most patients can be switched from IV
    to oral agents within 3 days

53
Impact of Pneumococcal Bacteremia on Outcomes
  • 125 pts. with pneumococcal bacteremic CAP were
    compared to 1,847 subjects with nonbacteremic CAP
  • Multivariable regression analysis revealed a lack
    of association of bacteremic pneumococcal CAP
    and
  • Time to clinical stability (hazard ratio HR,
    0.87 95 CI, 0.7 to 1.1 p 0.25)
  • Length of hospital stay (HR, 1.14 95 CI, 0.91
    to 1.43 p 0.25)
  • All-cause mortality (odds ratio OR, 0.68 95
    CI, 0.36 to 1.3 p 0.25)
  • CAP-related mortality (OR, 0.86 95 CI, 0.35 to
    2.06 p 0.73).

Bordon, J. et al. Chest 2008133618-624
54
Logistic Regression Analysis All-cause Mortality
  • Pneumococcal bacteremic CAP did not increase the
    risk for all-cause mortality or CAP-related
    mortality
  • The MRA revealed a lack of association of
    bacteremic pneumococcal CAP and all-cause
    mortality (odds ratio OR, 0.68 (95 CI, 0.36
    to 1.3 p 0.25)

Community Acquired Pneumonia
  • Fluoroquinolone Resistance
  • In a case control study, colonization or
    infection by FQ resistant pneumococci was
    independently associated with
  • COPD
  • Nosocomial origin of bacteremia
  • Residence in a nursing home
  • Prior exposure to FQ

67
Community-Acquired MRSA
  • Severe, rapidly progressive, often necrotizing
    pneumonia
  • Primarily has been associated with skin and soft
    tissue infections
  • Frequently a history of preceding influenza-like
    illness
  • All MRSA strains contain a mecA gene and
    regulatory sequences that produce
    penicillin-binding protein 2a
  • Resistant to all ?-lactams including
    cephalosporins, cefamycins and carbapenems

Francis JS, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2005 40
100-7
68
Community-Acquired MRSA
  • Cytotoxin called Panton Valentine Leukocidin
    (PVL) associated with primary skin infections
    and severe necrotizing pneumonia
  • creates lytic pores in the cell membranes of
    PMNLs
  • induces release of PMNL chemotactic factors
  • For toxin-producing strains, antibiotics that
    inhibit protein synthesis (linezolid or
    clindamycin) may be better than vancomycin
  • Concern of inducible clindamycin resistance has
    discouraged its use among clinicians
  • Vancomycin is drug of choice for non-toxin
    producing MRSA bacteria - does not inhibit the
    production of the toxic PVL cytotoxin

  • All persons age 50 and older
  • Persons of any age
  • Residing in a nursing home
  • Chronic cardiovascular disorder
  • Chronic pulmonary disorder

Summary
  • S. pneumoniae remains the most important pathogen
    in the etiology of CAP
  • Several tools help identify high risk candidates
  • Use antibiotics judiciously and early (lt4hrs)
  • Revise antibiotic therapy based on clinical and
    microbiological response
