Objectives

Diagnosis and management of CAP

Differentiate between healthcare-associated
pneumonia (HCAP) and CAP

Identify risk factors for resistant organisms
and less common causes of pneumonia
CAP - Epidemiology

Very common


5 million cases/year in North America
At least 1 million hospitalizations/year
9th leading cause of infectious death in US
30 day morality for hospitalized patients is up
to 23%
$17 billion/year in healthcare costs in US

51 Staphylococcus aureus CAP cases in 19 states
reported 2006-2007
79% MRSA
Median age 16 yrs (range <1 to 81)
47% antecedent viral illness
11 of 33 (33%) tested had lab-confirmed influenza

Lesson: Must consider MRSA, MSSA coverage in
severe CAP, esp during flu season!


Cavitary infiltrate or necrosis
Rapidly increasing pleural effusion
Gross hemoptysis (not just blood-streaked)
Concurrent influenza
Neutropenia
Erythematous rash
Skin pustules
Young, previously healthy patient
Severe pneumonia during summer months

Is sputum culture helpful?

Sputum Gram stain
and culture



Low sensitivity (25-40%)
Considered optional for
outpatients
Blood culture


Positive < 10%


Yield 5-15%
Stronger indication for severe CAP
Host factors: cirrhosis, asplenia, complement
deficiencies, leukopenia
Yield can be variable
Depends on multiple factors: specimen collection,
transport, speed of processing, use of cytologic criteria
Adequate sample w/ predominant morphotype seen in
only 14% of 1669 hospitalized CAP pts (Garcia-Vasquez,
Arch Intern Med 2004)
Pre-abx endotracheal aspirate Gs & Cx
Pleural effusions >5 cm on lateral upright CXR
Diagnosis: Other testing

Urinary antigen tests

S. pneumoniae

L. pneumophila serogroup 1

60-80% sensitive, >90%
specific in adults

Pros: rapid (15 min), simple,
more sensitive than Cx, can
detect Pneumococcus after
abx started

Cons: no susceptibility data,
not helpful in patients with
recent CAP (prior 3 months)
Diagnosis: Other testing

Acute-phase serologies



C. pneumoniae, Mycoplasma, Legionella spp
Not practical given slow turnaround & single acute-phase
result unreliable
Influenza testing

Hospitalized patients: Severe respiratory illness (T> 37.8°C
with SOB, hypoxia, or radiographic evidence of pneumonia)
without other explanation and suggestive of infectious etiology
should get screened during season

NP swab or nasal wash/aspirate
Rapid flu test (15 min) - Distinguishes A vs B
 Sensitivity 50-70%; specificity >90%
Respiratory virus DFA & culture - reflex subtyping for A
Respiratory viral PCR panel - reflex subtyping for A
Epidemic Influenza PCR panel – screens for A & B with
reflex subtyping for A

after being found home unresponsive, hypoxic with Sat 80%.
Initial BP 100/80, HR 120. PaO2 60 on 80% FiO2.
CXR reveals diffuse patchy infiltrates with some lower lobar
consolidation R>L.

shows 3+ polys and 3+GPC in clusters. Which of the following
abx would you start empirically?

Risk Factors for Multidrug
Resistance (MDR)
Antibiotics in the past 90 days
High frequency of antibiotic resistance in community
Immunosuppressive disease or medications
HCAP Risk Factors:
• Hospitalization for at least 2 days in the past 90 days
• Residence in a SNF
• Home infusion therapy
• Dialysis within 30 days
• Family member with MDR infection

Influenza pneumonia
Treatment


First-line Tx is neuroaminidase inhibitors for both
influenza A and B:

Oseltamavir 75-150* mg PO BID x 5+ days

Zanamavir 10 mg INH BID x 5+ days
NOTE: influenza A resistant to adamantanes
(amantadine, rimantadine)
* There is limited data in support of double dosing. But we
do it anyway.
Antiviral Therapy for Influenza
Should be started ASAP in:

Anyone hospitalized with suspected or confirmed
influenza

Anyone with severe, complicated or progressive
respiratory illness

Anyone at higher risk of complications from influenza
CDC Guidelines for Influenza 2012-2013
Individuals at Higher Risk for
Influenza Complications

Extremes of age: children <2, adults ≥65 years

Influenza pneumonia
What about the 48-hr rule?

Antiviral treatment within 48 hrs



Reduce likelihood of lower tract complications &
antibacterial use in outpatients
Hospitalized patients likely benefit even if started up to 35 days from illness onset 1,2,3
Additional exceptions to <48 h rule:


Immunocompromised patients
Severe, complicated or progressive illness

Follow-up Response
Expected improvement?



Clinical improvement w/ effective abx: 48-72 hrs
Fever can last 2-5 days with Pneumococcus, longer
with other etiologies, esp Staph aureus
CXR clearing



If healthy & <50 yo, 60% have clear CXR x 4 wks
If older, COPD, bacteremic, alcoholic, etc. only 25% with
clear CXR x 4 wks
Switch from IV to PO


Hemodynamically stable, improving clinically
Able to ingest meds with working GI tract

for non-response to antibiotics in CAP?

present with a respiratory illness

Evaluate patients for MDR risk factors when
managing patients in the community with
respiratory illness
