Types of Pneumonia
• Community-‐acquired -‐ Present on admit or within 1st 48 hours -‐ No risk for nosocomial pathogens • Healthcare-‐associated (HCAP) -‐ pa;ents with extensive exposure to healthcare system prior to admit
• Hospital-‐acquired (HAP) -‐ develops ≥ 48 hours post admit • Ven;lator-‐associated (VAP) -‐ Develops ≥ 48 hours post intuba;on
Epidemiology
• 450 million cases worldwide • 4 million deaths per year • Highest risk in children < 5 and adults over 75 • 1.4 million children under 5 died in 2010 -‐ 18% of deaths -‐ More than TB, HIV & malaria combined -‐ Most of those deaths in developing countries -‐ Major risks are malnutri;on and poverty
WHO and Ruuskanen, O, et al. Lancet, 2011.
Preven;on
• Vaccina;on -‐ Hib, pertussis, measles, pneumococcus -‐ up to 30% reduc;on in incidence • Nutri;on • Breas^eeding 1st six months -‐ up to 15% reduc;on in incidence • Prompt access to treatment • Reduce indoor air pollu;on

Diagnosis
• No set of clinical criteria have great sensi;vity • Must have infiltrate on CXR
• Sputum and CXR pajerns not consistent
Diagnosis -‐ CXR
• Lobar infiltrate – typical bacteria • Inters;;al – viral or PCP • Nodular – fungal, mycobacteria, nocardia, ac;no
• Table 4. Criteria for severe community-‐acquired pneumonia.
• Minor criteriaa Respiratory rateb >=30 breaths/min Pa02/Fi02 ra;ob <=250 Mul;lobar infiltrates Confusion/disorienta;on Uremia (BUN level, >=20 mg/dL) Leukopeniac (WBC count, <4000 cells/mm3) Thrombocytopenia (platelet count, <100,000 cells/mm3) Hypothermia (core temperature, <36°C) Hypotension requiring aggressive fluid resuscita;on
• Major criteria Invasive mechanical ven;la;on Sep;c shock with the need for vasopressors
Micro Tes;ng
• Up to 70% of cases never have iden;fied bug • Out-‐pa;ents – no specific tes;ng needed • Floor Pa;ents – targeted tes;ng • ICU Pa;ents: -‐ Blood Cultures
-‐ Sputum Cultures
-‐ Urine an;gen tes;ng (Legionella, Pneumo)
-‐ Tes;ng may improve mortality in this group
Blood Cultures
• Only + in ~ 15% of pneumonia pa;ents • Majority of + cultures are strep pneumo
• ATS/IDSA recommend cultures in:
-‐ ICU pa;ents
-‐ Cavity on CXR
-‐ Leukopenia
-‐ Chronic liver disease or EtOH abuse
-‐ Asplenia
-‐ Pleural Effusion
Sputum Cultures
• Rate of + cultures highly variable (10-‐80%) • ATS/IDSA guidelines: -‐ ICU Pa;ents
-‐ Failure of empiric therapy
-‐ Cavity on CXR
-‐ Alcohol abuse or immunocompromise
-‐ Severe lung disease
-‐ Pleural effusion
Urinary An;gen Tes;ng
• Bejer accuracy vs. sputum & blood tes;ng • Easier to obtain vs. sputum
• Fast turn around • Not affected by abx treatment up to 3 days
• Cannot do sensi;vity tes;ng • Legionella test only for Group 1 (~ 80% of dz) • ? Lower accuracy in absence of bacteremia

• Less accurate in pa;ents < 50
Biomarkers – Procalcitonin (PCT)
• Levels rise during infec;on -‐ ? More specific to bacterial infec;on
-‐ ? More specific to infec;on that CRP
• Low PCT high NPPV (98.9%) for mortality from CAP
-‐ even in pa;ents with high CRB-‐65
• High PCT, and failure to drop, a/w ↑ mortality
• High PCT a/w blood culture + Kruger, S, et al., Eur Resp J, 2008.
PCT Guided Abx Therapy
• 302 CAP pa;ents, randomized, open trial • Control pa;ents – usual prac;ce • PCT group – abx use encouraged if PCT high, discouraged if PCT low
-‐ PCT done Day 1, 4, 6 and 8 • PCT group had much less abx use -‐ mostly via shorter courses of abx in PCT pts • Similar need for ICU, mortality, etc
Christ-‐Crain, M, et al. AJRCCM, 2006.
Other Biomarkers of Interest
• CRP -‐ ? Par;cular sugges;ve of pneumococcus
• Pro-‐atrial natriure;c pep;de • Pro-‐vasopressin

-‐More late failure with prednisone
Viral Pneumonia
• More common in children • Likely underdiagnosed historically • Diagnos;c op;ons are improving
• O@en co-‐exists with bacterial pneumonia
• Limited treatment op;ons
• Seasonal pajerns • Can have epidemics
Ruuskanen, O, et al. Lancet, 2011.
Viral Pneumonia -‐ Diagnosis
• Nasal swabs, aspirates, washes • Throat swab • Expectorated or induced sputum
• BAL • PCR techniques have increased yield
Viral Pneumonia -‐ Diagnosis
• Signs & symptoms overlap with those of bacterial pneumonia
• Viral may have more insidious onset or have prodrome
• ? More likely to have wheeze
• Consider if not responding to an;bio;cs
Viruses
• RSV • Influenza • Parainfluenza • Human metapneumo virus • Coronavirus (SARS) • Avian influenza A (H5N1) -‐ 60% fatality rate • Pandemic influenza A (H1N1)
An;-‐virals
• Neurominidase inhibitors – Influenza viruses -‐ Oseltamivir, peramivir, zanamivir, amantadine and rimantadine
• Ribavirin – RSV, human metapneumo, para
Health Care-‐Associated Pneumonia (HCAP)
• Nursing home residents • Recent hospitaliza;on • Chronic dialysis • Home infusion therapy
• Home wound care therapy
Hospital-‐Acquired Pneumonia (HAP)
• Develops ≥ 48 hours a@er admit • Highest risk of HAP is in intubated pa;ents • Es;mated incidence 4-‐7/1000 admits
• Pa;ents with HAP have 20-‐50% mortality
Ven;lator-‐Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
• Develops > 48 hours a@er intuba;on • Not present at ;me of intuba;on
• 1-‐4% daily risk while intubated
MDR Organisms
• Resistant to ≥ 2 an;bio;cs usually used to treat the organism
• Risk Factors for MDR infec;on: -‐ Received an;bio;cs in last 90-‐180 days -‐ Hospitalized ≥ 2 days in last 90 days -‐ Current hospitaliza;on has been for ≥ 5 days -‐ High local incidence of MDR organisms -‐ Immunosuppressed pa;ent
Treatment
• General Principles -‐ Start empiric an;bio;cs promptly based on local an;-‐biogram
-‐ Blood & Sputum culture if possible
-‐ Prompt ini;a;on of appropriate abx crucial
-‐ Assess for risk for MDR organism
-‐ Descalate as quickly as able (within 72 hours)
Importance of Timing of Abx
• Observa;onal study of 107 consecu;ve VAP pa;ents in single ICU
• Compared pt with > 24 hour delay in abx
• Mortality in delay pa;ents 70% vs. 28%
• Even adjusted for severity of illness, etc, delay abx s;ll led to increased mortality
Iregui M, et al. Chest, 2002.
Importance of Appropriate Abx
• Retrospec;ve study of 431 HCAP pa;ents • Single center • Mortality in pa;ents with appropriate regimen was 18% vs. 30% (p 0.013)
Zilberberg, et al. Chest, 2008.
Treatment Guidelines
• 303 pa;ents in 4 ICU’s • 129 had guideline recommended an;bio;cs • 174 pa;ents did not get recommended abx • 34% of adherent pa;ents died vs. 20%
• Other studies have suggested opposite results • Emphasizes the importance of adjus;ng therapy to local pathogens Kett, DH, et al. Lancet Infect Dis, 2011.
Dura;on of An;bio;cs
• Prospec;ve RCT of 401 pa;ent with VAP • Excluded immunosuppressed pa;ents • Compared 8 vs. 15 days of an;bio;cs • Outcomes: death, recurrence & abx free days • No difference in Mortality or ICU days • Overall recurrence rate not different • If GNR, 8d group had higher recurrence, but no mortality difference & less resistance
