of antibodies in paired serum samples. Introduction of
PCR has increased the ability to detect respiratory viruses,
including those that are di cult to culture. At least
26 viruses have now been associated with community-
acquired pneumonia (panel).
Despite technological advances, establishing the cause
of pneumonia remains challenging.
13
Specimens from
the lower-respiratory tract can be hard to obtain, and
distinguishing possible prolonged shedding or
colonisation from infection can be di cult. For diagnosis
of viral pneumonia, reliance on testing of nasopharyngeal
specimens presents its own challenges; detection of a
virus in the nasopharynx could represent coincidental
upper-respiratory infection or a pneumonia pathogen.
Measurement of background prevalence of asymptomatic
nasopharyngeal viral infection in a control group might
help to clarify the size of this diagnostic issue at a
population level, but this approach has been used only
rarely in aetiological studies. Furthermore, most research
has focused on patients admitted to hospital and,
therefore, ndings might not be representative of mild-
to-moderate disease.
Several dierent types of specimen from the upper and
lower airway have been used in aetiological studies of
community-acquired pneumonia, including: naso-
pharyngeal aspirates or washes; swabs from the
nasopharynx, nose, or throat; combined nasopharygeal
and throat swabs; expectorated and induced sputum;
tracheal aspirates; bronchoalveolar lavage; and lung
puncture.
14,15
Recovery of virus uctuates according to
specimen type, which probably accounts for some of the
variability of ndings between studies.
Most studies of the cause of viral pneumonia have
used upper-respiratory specimens to test for viruses. In
children, nasopharyngeal aspirates are generally deemed
the specimen of choice because both nasal and
nasopharyngeal mucus samples are gathered. Respira-
tory viruses have been noted in 95% of mucus samples
obtained by nasopharyngeal aspiration from children
with respiratory infection.
16
Obtaining an aspirate is,
however, unpleasant and requires a suction device.
Nasal swabs taken with a sterile cotton swab from a
depth of 23 cm have comparable sensitivity to
nasopharyngeal aspirates for culture of all major
respiratory viruses, except respiratory syncytial virus.
17

Flocked swabs with nylon bres in a perpendicular
fashion are now preferred by many clinicians because
they are convenient to use and have a similar sensitivity
to nasopharyngeal aspirates for detection by PCR of
respiratory viruses.
15,17,18
In adults, nasopharyngeal swabs
have a higher sensitivity than throat swabs, but they can
be less sensitive than nasopharyngeal washes.
14

Transnasal nasopharyngeal ocked swabs also have
high virus detection rates in adults.
19,20
Lower-respiratory specimens have obvious advantages
for establishing the cause of pneumonia because they
come from the site of infection. However, obtaining
reliable specimens that are not contaminated by ora
from the upper airway is di cult. Induced sputum
specimens have been used in paediatric pneumonia
studies, although assuring that the specimens are
representative of the lower-respiratory tract can be
challenging.
21
High-quality specimens can be obtained by
thoracic needle aspiration, but this technique has not
been adopted widely because of safety concerns, despite
a low complication rate.
22,23
In general, PCR-based methods are between two and
ve times more sensitive than conventional virus
diagnostic methods (culture, antigen detection, and
serological assays) for detection of respiratory viruses.

The diagnosis of NP is difcult, and the criteria
used for surveillance have been based on clinical
ndings of fever, cough, and the development of
purulent sputum in combination with a new or
progressive inltrate on the chest radiograph. When
pneumonia arises in the hospitalized patient, aerobic
Gram negative bacilli, particularly Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Enterobacter spp. and S. aureus, are
the major causative organisms [33]. Other common
causes of NP are H. Inuenza, pneumococcus,
aspiration with anaerobes, Legionella spp. and viruses
in certain hosts. Respiratory syncytial virus, inuenza
A and B, and parainuenza, are responsible forw70%
of nosocomial viral diseases [33]. The clinical and
radiographical clues to the aetiological diagnosis of
pneumonia are shown in table 1.
Immunosuppressed host pneumonia
Patients with impaired immune function are sus-
ceptible to infections by a wide range of organisms
[6, 7]. In the last several decades, AIDS epidemic,
advances in the treatment of cancer, organ transplan-
tation, and immunossuppressive therapy has resulted
in large numbers of patients who develop abnormal-
ities in their immune system [3436]. Pneumonia is a
major clinical problem for immunosuppressed pati-
ents and many of the bacteria causing CAP in the
healthy community are also responsible for pneumo-
nia in these risk patients. Mildy impaired host immu-
nity as it occurs in chronic debilitating illness, diabetes
mellitus, malnutrition, alcoholism, advanced age, pro-
longed corticosteroid administration and chronic obs-
tructive lung disease have also been regarded as
predisposing factors of pulmonary infections [37].
Acquired immune deciency syndrome

result from a number of infectious and noninfectious

dividuals risk of death but may decrease cost, drug adverse
effects, and antibiotic resistance pressure.
Some etiologic diagnoses have important epidemiologic im-
plications, such as documentation of severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS), inuenza, legionnaires disease, or agents of
bioterrorism. Diagnostic testing for these infections may affect
not only the individual but also many other people. Although
pneumonia etiologies that should be reported to public health
ofcials vary by state, in general, most states health regulations
require reporting of legionnaires disease, SARS, psittacosis,
avian inuenza (H5N1), and possible agents of bioterrorism
(plague, tularemia, and anthrax). In addition, specic diag-
nostic testing and reporting are important for pneumonia cases
of any etiology thought to be part of a cluster or caused by
pathogens not endemic to the area.
There are also societal reasons for encouraging diagnostic
testing. The antibiotic recommendations in the present guide-
lines are based on culture results and sensitivity patterns from
patients with positive etiologic diagnoses [102]. Without the
accumulated information available from these culture results,
trends in antibiotic resistance are more difcult to track, and
empirical antibiotic recommendations are less likely to be
accurate.
The main downside of extensive diagnostic testing of all
patients with CAP is cost, which is driven by the poor quality
of most sputum microbiological samples and the low yield of
positive culture results in many groups of patients with CAP.
A clear need for improved diagnostic testing in CAP, most likely
using molecular methodology rather than culture, has been
recognized by the National Institutes of Health [103].
The cost-benet ratio is even worse when antibiotic therapy
is not streamlined when possible [104, 105] or when inappro-
priate escalation occurs [95]. In clinical practice, narrowing of
antibiotic therapy is, unfortunately, unusual, but the committee
strongly recommends this as best medical practice. The pos-
sibility of polymicrobial CAP and the potential benet of com-
bination therapy for bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia
have complicated the decision to narrow antibiotic therapy.
Delays in starting antibiotic therapy that result from the need
to obtain specimens, complications of invasive diagnostic pro-
cedures, and unneeded antibiotic changes and additional testing
for false-positive tests are also important considerations.
The general recommendation of the committee is to strongly
encourage diagnostic testing whenever the result is likely to
change individual antibiotic management. For other patients
with CAP, the recommendations for diagnostic testing focus
on patients in whom the diagnostic yield is thought to be
greatest. These 2 priorities often overlap. Recommendations for
patients in whom routine diagnostic testing is indicated for the
above reasons are listed in table 5. Because of the emphasis on
clinical relevance, a variety of diagnostic tests that may be ac-
curate but the results of which are not available in a time
window to allow clinical decisions are neither recommended
nor discussed.
11. Routine diagnostic tests to identify an etiologic diagnosis
are optional for outpatients with CAP. (Moderate rec-

Retrospective studies of outpatient CAP management usually
show that diagnostic tests to dene an etiologic pathogen are
infrequently performed, yet most patients do well with empir-

PS-CURXO80, SMART-COP, and the PIRO-CAP scores have been created for this
purpose. Espan a and colleagues
48
developed and validated a clinical prediction
rule to assess the diagnosis of severe CAP. This new prediction score was derived
from the variables associated with severe CAP that include: arterial pH less than
7.30, Systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg, Confusion (or altered mental status),
blood Urea nitrogen greater than 30 mg/dL, Respiratory rate greater than 30 breaths/
min, multilobar/bilateral lung infiltrates (by X-ray), Oxygen arterial pressure less than
54 mm Hg or ratio of arterial oxygen tension to fraction of inspired oxygen less than
250 mm Hg, and age 80 years or older. The evaluation of severe CAP is based on
the presence of one major criterion (PS) or two or more minor criteria (CURXO80).
The model showed an area under the curve of 0.92 to accurately predict severe
CAP.

developed the SMART-COP to predict the need for inten-
sive respiratory and vasopressor support. The features statistically significantly asso-
ciated with receipt of intensive respiratory care or vasopressor support were low
Systolic blood pressure (1 point), Multilobar chest radiography involvement (1 point),
low Albumin level (1 point), high Respiratory rate (age-adjusted) (1 point), Tachycardia
(1 point), Confusion (1 point), poor Oxygenation (age-adjusted) (2 points), and lowarte-
rial pH(< 7.35) (2 points): SMART-COP. A SMART-COP score of 3 points or more iden-
tified 92% of patients who received intensive respiratory care or vasopressor support,
including 84% of patients who did not need immediate admission to the ICU. This tool
was validated externally in five different cohorts with consistent results and can assist
the clinician in assessing the need for intensive respiratory care or vasopressor
support and CAP severity.

dL; Respiratory rate > 30 breaths per minute; Blood pressure (BP) (systolic BP < 90 mm Hg or dia-
stolic BP < 60 mm Hg); and age R 65 years. Each criterion has a score of one, and the total score
is added by the presence of each of the five criteria. Two or more criteria suggest severe CAP
and admission to the hospital is recommended; a patient who has three or more criteria needs
an assessment for ICU (more likely to be in scores 4 or 5).

developed the CAP-PIRO score based on the score sug-
gested for the risk for sepsis. This score evaluates variables related to the PIRO score
that include: Predisposition, Infection, Response, and Organ dysfunction. The CAP-
PIRO score intends to adjust for the complexity of the patients critically ill with CAP.
CAP-PIRO score evaluates the following variables: Predisposition: comorbidities
(COPD or immunocompromised) (1 point), age greater than 70 years (1 point); Infec-
tion: bacteremia (1 point), multilobar opacities (1 point); Response: shock (1 point),
severe hypoxemia (1 point); and Organ dysfunction: acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS, 1 point), acute renal failure (1 point). Considering the observed
mortality from each PIRO score, the patients were stratified in four levels of risk: (a)
low, 0 to 2 points; (b) mild, 3 points; (c) high, 4 points; and (d) very high, 5 to 8 points.
This score was able to consistently predict the ICU mortality and health care use in
a cohort of 529 patients admitted to the ICU with CAP.
50
In conclusion, the last four severity criteria scores have in common the overlap in the
variables selected, and it is clear that the newconcept of severe CAP goes beyond the
lungs and looks for systemic organ dysfunction (Table 4). Future prospective valida-
tion studies are needed for these scores.
THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES TOMANAGE SCAP PATIENTS
Traditionally the antimicrobial agents have been considered the cornerstone of
therapy against severe CAP; however, with the purpose of understanding severe
CAP as a systemic disease, there are other non-antimicrobial therapies that should
be considered in this group of patients. Therapeutic strategies for managing patients
who have severe CAP are summarized in Box 1.
Antimicrobial Therapies
Several professional organizations developed clinical practice guidelines with the
objective of standardized therapy for CAP following an evidence-based medicine

cohort, the rate of these outcomes increased
steadily from low- to high-risk classes for the
SCAP score as well as for the PSI and CURB-65
(p 0.001). In the internal validation cohort,
there were no significant differences in outcomes
such as ICU admission and mechanical ventilation
for the PSI and CURB-65. This could be attrib-
uted to a lower proportion of these two outcomes
in the internal validation cohort.
All three scores predicted treatment failure with
low to moderate discrimination in the external vali-
dation cohort. It must be noted that the initial
severity of CAP is only one factor predicting treat-
ment failure. Other factors, such as the causal mi-
croorganism and treatment-related factors,
17
are not
part of the three prediction tools.
The SCAP score classified a significantly higher
proportion of patients as low risk in both cohorts
than the PSI and CURB-65, with lower rates of all
adverse outcomes. Another goal of the tool is its
negative predictive value. If the score is low, ICU
admission and others adverse outcomes are very
unlikely. In addition, patients identified as high risk by
the SCAP score had somewhat higher rates of ICU
admissions, need for mechanical ventilation, and severe
sepsis compared with the PSI and CURB-65. Thus,

in those patients initially managed with amoxicillin alone.
Changing to doxycyline or a new fluoroquinolone such as
levofloxacin are alternatives.
In the patient with high severity pneumonia already receiving
a b-lactam/clarithromycin regimen, the addition of levofloxacin
should be considered. In addition, urgent referral to a respiratory
physician should be made for clinical assessment including the
possible need for bronchoscopic sampling.
Recommendations
c When a change in empirical antibiotic therapy is
considered necessary, a macrolide could be substituted
for or added to the treatment for those with low
severity pneumonia treated with amoxicillin mono-
therapy in the community or in hospital. [D]
c For those with moderate severity pneumonia in
hospital on combination therapy, changing to doxycy-
cline or a fluoroquinolone with effective pneumococcal
cover are alternative options. [D]
c Adding a fluoroquinolone is an option for those with
high severity pneumonia not responding to a b-lactam/
macrolide combination antibiotic regimen. [D]
8.18 Antibiotic stewardship and avoiding inappropriate antibiotic
prescribing for CAP
Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing is a driver for antibiotic
resistance and increases the likelihood of development of C
difficile infection. Given the frequency of admissions to hospital
for suspected CAP and the difficulty in identifying a causative
pathogen often leading to initial empirical broad-spectrum
antibiotic therapy, it is timely to offer guidance to limit
inappropriate prescribing in the context of the management of
patients with CAP.
Ensuring an accurate diagnosis of CAP is the most important
issue in relation to the avoidance of inappropriate antibiotic
prescribing. One study reported that 29% of hospitalised

1Specifically for legionella pneumonia, the large majority of published experience regarding the efficacy of fluoroquinolones is only
with levofloxacin. For high severity or life-threatening legionella pneumonia, combination therapy including the preferred and an
alternative antibiotic can be considered for the first few days (see text for further details). Rifampicin is not recommended on its
own but could be considered as the second additional antibiotic.

in those patients initially managed with amoxicillin alone.
Changing to doxycyline or a new fluoroquinolone such as
levofloxacin are alternatives.
In the patient with high severity pneumonia already receiving
a b-lactam/clarithromycin regimen, the addition of levofloxacin
should be considered. In addition, urgent referral to a respiratory
physician should be made for clinical assessment including the
possible need for bronchoscopic sampling.
Recommendations
c When a change in empirical antibiotic therapy is
considered necessary, a macrolide could be substituted
for or added to the treatment for those with low
severity pneumonia treated with amoxicillin mono-
therapy in the community or in hospital. [D]
c For those with moderate severity pneumonia in
hospital on combination therapy, changing to doxycy-
cline or a fluoroquinolone with effective pneumococcal
cover are alternative options. [D]
c Adding a fluoroquinolone is an option for those with
high severity pneumonia not responding to a b-lactam/
macrolide combination antibiotic regimen. [D]
8.18 Antibiotic stewardship and avoiding inappropriate antibiotic
prescribing for CAP
Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing is a driver for antibiotic
resistance and increases the likelihood of development of C
difficile infection. Given the frequency of admissions to hospital
for suspected CAP and the difficulty in identifying a causative
pathogen often leading to initial empirical broad-spectrum
antibiotic therapy, it is timely to offer guidance to limit
inappropriate prescribing in the context of the management of
patients with CAP.
Ensuring an accurate diagnosis of CAP is the most important
issue in relation to the avoidance of inappropriate antibiotic
prescribing. One study reported that 29% of hospitalised
