1 COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA  





A previously healthy child presntimg with signs and symptoms of lower respiratory tract infection, acquired outside at the hospital. The most common bacterial cause of childhood pneumonia is Streptococcus pmeumoniae - Usually causes about 1/3 of radiographically-confirmed pneumonia oin children <2 years of age - Pneumonia secondary to group A Streptococcus & Staphylococcus aureus are more frequently associated w/ empyema or pdiactric ICU admission Viruses commonly affects children <1 year of age than those aged >2 years; respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV) being the most frequently detected virus - Adenoviruses, bocaviruses, human metapneumovirus, influenza A&B viruses, parainfluenza viruses, coronaviruses & rhinovirus are less frequently identified Mixed infection may occur in 8-40% of CAP cases

2 DIAGNOSIS 

Diagnosis of CAP is primarily based on history and physical findings (eg signs and symptoms of respiratory distress fever) - Lab and radiographic exams may aid in the diagnosis pf severe cases or in patietns who failed to show clinical improvement after inflation of antibiotic therapy.

HISTORY 





Patient’s age, Immunization status - Age is a good predictor of causative agent  Viruses are often linked in up to 50% of pneumonia in young children  S pneumonia followed by atypical pneumonia (eg Mycoplasma and Chlamydia) is the most likely pathogen in older children with pneumonia of bacterial origin - Immunization status is important because children fully immunized against Haemophilisz influenzae type B & S pneumoniae are less likely to be infected with these pathogens Symptoms may include fever, dyspnea, cough, chest or abdominal pain with or without vomiting, headache - Patients w/ cough or difficulty of breathing w/ either lower chest indrawing, nasal flaring, or grunting are considered to have severe pneumonia - Patients w/ cough or difficulty of breathing w/ either cyanosis, severe respiratory distress, inability to drink or vomits everything, or lethargy, unconsciousness, convulsions have very severe pneumonia Should also take note of the season of the year; daycare attendance, exposure to tobacco smoke or infectious diseases (eg tuberculosis), history of travel, or coexisting of illness (ie cardiac or pulmonary disorders, immunodeficiencies, neuromuscular diseases)

Physical Exam  

Combination of clinical findings are more predictive in diagnosing CAP Check for Temperature - Fever in viral pneumonia is generally lower than in bacterial pneumonia
