- 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.

13Clinical 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.

49Combination 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

2004170440-44.
50How 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
51How 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
52Switch 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
53Impact 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
54Logistic 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)

- 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
Ho. Clin Infect Dis 200132701-707.
67Community-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
68Community-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

should be administered in 5 years to individuals

79Community Acquired Pneumonia Prevention
- Influenza Vaccination
- All persons age 50 and older
- Persons of any age
- Residing in a nursing home
- Chronic cardiovascular disorder
- Chronic pulmonary disorder
- Diabetes mellitus
- Renal dysfunction
- Immmunosuppression
- Women in second trimester of pregnancy during flu
season
80Summary
- 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 - Consider prior exposures and prior therapy when
choosing antibiotics
81Summary
- Bacterial resistance is prevalent, and local
rates of resistance should be considered when
selecting antimicrobial therapy - Guidelines improve outcomes
- Beware of emerging threats such as H5N1 influenza
and CA-MRSP - Pneumococcal vaccine reduces invasive
pneumococcal disease and mortality from CAP in
both children and adults
