h Introduction
• Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
– Common and serious disease.
– 80% of cases can be treated at home.
– Mortality rate for patients requiring hospitalization is 8-10%, and can increase to 40% to those requiring ICU.
– Clinical presentation of CAP does not allow for and etiological diagnosis.
– Many organisms can be

h Goals of Therapy
• Assess severity of pneumonia. • Eradicate infecting pathogen. • Relieve symptoms.
– Fever, cough, pleuritic chest pain, sputum, dyspnea.
• Promptly recognize and minimize complications. – Metastatic infection, empyema, cavitation,
pneumothorax, septic shock, respiratory failure, worsening of comorbid condition (IHD, DM).
• Provide end-of-life care if emerges.
Anas Bahnassi 2014
Empyema is a collection of pus in the space between the lung and the inner surface of the chest wall (pleural space). Pneumothorax: collapsed lung.

h Investigations
• History and PI with particular attention to: – Symptoms:
• Cough, SOB, pleuritic chest pain, hemoptysis, sputum, fever, chills, headache, confusion, ….
– History of recent travel and other risk factors like: • Smoking, alcohol, comorbid illnesses.
– Physical findings:
• Objective measurements: – Vital signs: RR≥30 is the most sensitive and specific sign. – Oxygenation status: If O2 saturation is ≤ 92% then perform
arterial blood gas. – Chest radiograph: consider a CT scan if radiograph is
negative.

• Laboratory testing:
– Electorlytes, Glu, BUN, Cr, CBC, differential WBC.
– Blood cultures.
– Sputum culture from the lower respiratory tract.
– Urine for Legionella antigens.
– Rapid test for flu.
– Serological studies.
– Nucleic acid amplification.

h Initial Management of CAP
Anas Bahnassi 2014
CAP diagnosed based on
History, PE, Findings,
chest X-ray
PSI is for guidance
not to replace clinical
judgment
< 90 and not hypo-oxynated
> 90 treat in hospital
Otherwise healthy, no use of antibiotics for 3 months, and no other risk factor use
macrolide or doxycycline po
Co-morbidities , lung or kidney disease, risk factors then respiratory
fluroquinolone *po, or Amox HD or Amox/Clav + Macrolide No Erythromycin alone
Treat at home
*moxifloxacin, levofloxacin. Gemifloxacin is not approved for CAP

Antibiotic Treatment Recommendations
Anas Bahnassi 2014
Class Drug Dose ADR Comments Cost
Amino-glycosides
Gentamicin Conventional: 1.5mg/kg DBW Q8H iv Extended: 4-6mg/kg DBW Once iv
Nephro/ Ototoxicity
Do not permeate pulmonary tissue very well. Exhibit conc.
dependent bacterial killing and postantibiotic effect Co-administration
with vancomycin or loop diuretics may increase the risk of nephro/ototoxicity
$
Tobramycin Conventional: 1.5mg/kg DBW Q8H iv Extended: 4-6mg/kg DBW Once iv
$
In obese patients >30 of ideal body weight (IBW) use dosing body weight (DBW) instead of total body weight (TBW) to prevent overdosing. DBW=0.4 (TBW-IBW)
Ideal body weight in (kg) Males: IBW = 50 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over 5 feet. Females: IBW = 45.5 kg + 2.3 kg for each inch over 5 feet.

Antibiotic Treatment Recommendations
Anas Bahnassi 2014
Class Drug Dose ADR Comments Cost
Fluro-quinolones
Cipro-floxacin
PO: 500-750mg BID IV: 400mg Q12H
GI upset, HA, dizziness, photo-sensitivity, hepatitis. Avoid in children: Cartridge toxicity.
Cipro is not a 1st line agent for CAP. Cipro available in suspension. Decreased absorption with
antacids, metals, and sucrafate. Cipro may decrease
theophylline or cyclosporin elimination. Levo 750 BID X5d is
equivalent to 500 BID X10d. May increase warfarin effect. Avoid in class Ia and III
arrhythmia patients or prolonged QT intervals Can switch from iv to po
$
Levo-floxacin
PO: 500mg Q24H X10 days. or 750mg Q12H X5 days. IV: 500mg Q24H

Glyco-peptides
Vanco-mycin
1g Q12H iv
Nephro/ ototoxicity Infusion related ADRs may increase with shorter infusion times
For MRSA pneumonia. Increase risk of
nephrotoxicity when co-administered with aminoglycosides.
$$$$
Ketolides Telithro-mycin
800mg daily X7-10 days
Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, elevated liver enzymes, hepatotoxicity.
Can not be considered as a first line. Hepatotoxicity can be fatal. Telithromycin: Atorvastatin, Lovastatin, Simvastatin, Itraconazole, Ketoconazole. Digoxin levels. Contraindicated with ergot, pimozide and disopyramide.
