Abstract
In adult outpatients with community-acquired pneumonia, the choice for antibiotherapy is empirical. This choice includes the age and the severity assessment of the patient, and the epidemiology of respiratory pathogens. New fluoroquinolones are not recommended as first line agents. Patients with community-acquired pneumonia had an increased morbidity and mortality. Prevention includes influenza and pneumococcal vaccination, and smoking cessation.
