1 Community-Acquired Pneumonia Current & Future State Brad Sharpe, M.D. Professor of Clinical Medicine Department of Medicine UCSF I have no relevant financial relationships to disclose. 1. In 1898, William Osler described community-acquired pneumonia as: a. An ailment that often leads to suffocation and death. b. A friend of the aged. c. A common and mortal disease which can be diagnosed by simple observation and percussion of the chest. d. Bad. Really bad. 1

2 1. In 1898, William Osler described community-acquired pneumonia as: a. An ailment that often leads to suffocation and death. b. A friend of the aged. c. A common and mortal disease which can be diagnosed by simple observation and percussion of the chest. d. Bad. Really bad. "Pneumonia may well be called the friend of the aged. Taken off by it in an acute, short, not often painful illness, the old man escapes those cold gradations of decay so distressing of himself and to his friends. -- William Osler, M.D.,

4 Roadmap Background Etiology Diagnosis Treatment Prevention Specific Goals: Describe the most common causes of community-acquired pneumonia in the outpatient setting Order appropriate diagnostic tests for CAP Initiate appropriate antibiotics in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) State the optimal duration of therapy in CAP State the benefits and need for preventative measures for CAP CAP: Current & Future 4

5 Caveats Will not talk about healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) Will not discuss admission decision (complex) Syllabus or specific questions: Community-Acquired Pneumonia Roadmap Background Etiology Diagnosis Treatment Prevention 5

6 CAP: Background 5 million cases/year in the U.S. 80% of CAP is treated outpatient Sixth leading cause of death Inpatient mortality 10-35% Outpatient mortality < 1% CAP: Background Some evidence that quality of care for African-Americans with CAP is worse Higher mortality among Caucasians Mortensen EM, et al. BMC Health Serv Res. 2004;4:20. Mayr FB, et al. Crit Care Med. 2010;38:759. 6

7 CAP: Background Cough 90%* Dyspnea 66% Sputum 66% Pleuritic chest pain 50% * Yet, only 4% of all visits for cough are pneumonia Halm EA, Teirstein AS. N Engl J Med 2002;347(25):2039. Clinical Presentation: Geriatrics Less classic presentations 10% have NONE of the classic signs or symptoms Up to 35% will not have fever Up to 50% will have altered mental status Up to 50% will have asthenia Mehr DR, et al.

18 Chest Radiograph Gold Standard All expert guidelines state should have positive CXR to make diagnosis History & exam not good enough (50% sensitive) In outpt setting, should see an infiltrate. Order CXR if you are concerned about CAP If CXR negative, likely should not treat for CAP In the inpatient setting, can see pneumonia with a negative CXR (~30%) Metlay J. Ann Intern Med Community-Acquired Pneumonia Chest Radiograph Gold Standard? Should (generally) order CXR in all patients with suspected pneumonia. In the hospital, a positive CXR is not necessary to treat as CAP (but consider other diagnoses). Community-Acquired Pneumonia 18

20 Blood Cultures Specific organism vs. contaminants, cost Reality: No evidence of a benefit Rarely positive = ~ 7% Contaminant rate = ~ 7% More likely to be positive if sicker ICU, septic shock, etc. Community-Acquired Pneumonia Blood Cultures in CAP In general, do not get blood cultures for outpatient CAP For inpatient CAP, blood cultures are optional Consider if risk factors: ICU, severe sepsis, cavitary infiltrates, pleural effusion IDSA/ATS Guidelines. CID. 2007;44:S

21 Sputum for CAP Complicated and controversial Simple, inexpensive, specific for pneumococcus Problems include: Up to 30% could not produce adequate sputum Good quality available in only 14% Most don t narrow antibiotics Sputum Cultures in CAP In general, sputum cultures are not indicated in outpatient CAP For inpatient CAP, sputum is indicated: High-quality specimen, right to the lab ICU, cavitary infiltrates, underlying lung disease IDSA/ATS Guidelines.
