BTS Guideline for Management of Community Acquired Pneumonia in Adults
updated 2009
NICE Guideline for Diagnosis and Management of Community Acquired Pneumonia in Adults ( Published in December 2014 )
Davidson’s Principles & Practice of Medicine
Objectives
To Briefly Review of Pneumonia
Management of Community Acquired Pneumonia in Adults
according to recently published NICE Guideline
Case Scenario
82 year old male , living in a Nursing Care, presented with Fever,
Breathlessness, purulent sputum with alter level of consciousness for the last 3
days. He has COPD and history of Smoking and Mild Dementia.
His Chest Xray shows new right lower lobe infiltrates
CBC shows Raised WBC count 18000/mm3
Initial Gram Staining report shows Prominent Stains of Gram +ve Organism
Case Scenario
What is your Diagnosis
Health Care Associated Pneumonia
What is most probable Causative Pathogen
Staphylococcus Aureus
What should be done next
Vancomycin 1 gram IV every 12 hours
Piperacillin and Tazobactam and intravenous levofloxacin incase of MRSA
Community Acquired Pneumonia
Acc. to BTS Guidelines CAP is defined as
Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection
Accompanied by New Infiltrates on Chest Radiograph
Or Ascultatory Findings Consistent with Pneumonia
in a patient Not Hospitalized or residing in a Long Term Care Facility
for More than 2 weeks
before onset of symptoms
What is An Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection
Acc. To NICE Guideline
An acute Illness (present for 21 days or less)
usually with Cough as main symptom
and with at least 1 other Lower respiratory tract symptoms such as
Fever
Sputum Production
Breathlessness
Wheeze
Chest Discomfort or Chest Pain
with No alternative explanation
Pneumonia, Acute Bronchitis and Exacerbation of COPD
Hospital Acquired Pneumonia
Pneumonia that develops in a Non-Incubating patient, 48 hours or
more after Hospital Admission
Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
Pneumonia that develops in a patient receiving Invasive Mechanical
Ventilation for at least 48 hours or more
Health Care Associated Pneumonia
Pneumonia that develops in a patient with recent contact with the
Health Care System, that include
Hospitalization for 2 days or more in the preceding 90 days
Residence in Nursing Care
Home Infusion Therapy including Antibiotics
Chronic Dialysis within 30 days
Home Wound Care
Family member with MDR Pathogen
Why it is important to differentiate CAP from
other Pneumonia
Timely Diagnosis and Treatment is the key in Successful
Management of Pneumonia
Early Pathogen detection and Choice of appropriate Antibiotic
will not only result in better outcome of Pneumonia, But also
reduces problems related to Antibiotic Resistant
Burden of Disease
Pneumonia remains common cause of Death
Globally Pneumonia ranked 6th
CAP is most common cause of Severe Sepsis
Despite introduction of Antibiotics, Imaging modalities and
Biomarker testing, mortalities related to CAP has not changed
significantly.
Risk Factors
Age
Altered Immunity
Malnutrition
Environmental Factors
Airway Colonization
Alcoholism
Smoking
Risk Factors
Age
With the increase in Age , Immunity of body weakens
Every Year over 65, increases risk for Pneumonia
Risk Factors
Altered Immunity
Patients with Immunocompromised state such as
HIV
AIDS
Chemotherapy Treatment
Lymphopoliferative Diseases
Cancer
Diabetes
CLD
Heart Failure
are at increased risk for development of CAP
Risk Factors
Malnutrition
whatever the cause may be
Malnutrition leads to alterations in Immunity
Increasing the chance for Airway colonization and infection with Gram –ve Bacilli
Risk Factors
Environmental Factors
Overcrowding
Occupations associated with exposure to Dust, Fumes, various Chemicals,
Contaminated Water Supply and Cooling Towers of Air-Conditioning Units
Contact with Animals
Risk Factors
Airway Colonization
Results in Impairment of Innate Lung Defense
Common in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Risk Factors
Alcoholism
Leads to Impaired Level of Consciousness, Cough Reflex and Muco-cilliary Movement
Also impairs function of Lymphocytes, Monocytes and alveolar Macrophages
Risk Factors
Smoking
Smoking, itself is not a Risk Factor for Pneumonia
But it alters Muco-cilliary Transport
And increases adhesion of Pathogens to Orophyrangial epithelium
Pathogens
Virus , Bacteria and Fungi are pathogens of Pneumonia
Common Pathogens are
Streptococcus Pneumoniae
Staphylococcus Aureus
H. Influenza
Mycoplasma Pneumoniae
Ligeonalla Pneumophila
Pseudomonas
Clamydia
Ecoli
Klebsella Pneumoniae
MRSA
Anaerobes

Klebsiella pneumoniae
Acinetobacter
Staphylococcus Pneumoiae
Common Pathogens in HCAP
Staphylococcus aureus
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Haemophilus influenzae.
Streptococus Pneumoniae
Most Common Pathogen of CAP
If left untreated , it will eventually result in Production of Rust
colored Sputum
Pneumonia caused by Streptococus Pneumoniae is a
Medical emergency
Because of
•Rapid multiplication
•High Risk for Secondary Complications
Staphylococus Pneumoniae
Most Severe form of CAP
Because of
Resistant to Multiple Antibiotics
Leads to formation of Bullae which may repute to Cause Pneumothorax,
Pneumo-Pyothorax and Septicemia
Mycoplasma Pneumoniae
Most Common Pathogen in Atypical Pneumonia
Usually occurs in small epidemics in Overcrowded Population

Management Of Community Acquired Pneumonia
Lower Respiratory Tract Infection
For people presenting with symptoms of Lower Respiratory Tract Infection
in Primary Care,
Consider C-reactive protein test
if after clinical assessment a diagnosis of Pneumonia has not been
made
and it is not clear whether Antibiotics should be prescribed
Lower Respiratory Tract Infection
Use the results of the C-reactive protein test to guide Antibiotic prescribing in people without a clinical diagnosis of pneumonia as follows,
Do not routinely offer antibiotic therapy if the C-reactive protein concentration is less than 20 mg/litre
Consider a Delayed Antibiotic Prescription (a prescription for use at a later date if symptoms worsen) if the C-reactive protein concentration is between 20 mg/litre and 100 mg/litre
Offer Antibiotic Therapy if the C-reactive protein concentration is greater than 100 mg/litre
Community Acquired Pneumonia
When a clinical diagnosis of Community Acquired Pneumonia is made in
Primary Care
Severity is assessed
To determine whether patients are at Low, Intermediate or High risk of Death
using the CRB65 Score
CRB65 score
CRB65 Score is calculated by giving 1 Point for each of the following
prognostic features
Confusion (abbreviated Mental Test score 8 or less, or new disorientation in person, place or time)
Raised Respiratory Rate (30 breaths per minute or more)
Low Blood Pressure (Diastolic 60 mmHg or less, or Systolic less than 90
mmHg)
Age 65 Years or more
Mortality Risk
Patients are stratified for Risk of Death as follows
0 Low risk (less than 1% mortality)
1 or 2 Intermediate risk (1-10% mortality risk)
3 or 4 High risk (more than 10% mortality risk)
Decision For Site Of Care
Use Clinical Judgment in conjunction with the CRB65 Score to inform
decisions about whether patients need Hospital assessment as
follows
Consider Home-Based Care for patients with a CRB65 score of 0
Consider Hospital Assessment for all other patients, particularly those
with a CRB65 Score of 2 or more
Community Acquired Pneumonia
When a clinical diagnosis of Community Acquired Pneumonia is made in
Hospital
Severity is assessed
To determine whether patients are at Low, Intermediate or High risk of
Death
using the CURB65 Score
CURB65 score
CURB65 Score is calculated by giving 1 Point for each of the
following prognostic features
Confusion (abbreviated Mental Test score 8 or less, or new disorientation in person, place or time)
Raised Blood Urea Nitrogen (over 7 mmol/litre)
Raised Respiratory Rate (30 breaths per minute or more)
Low Blood Pressure (Diastolic 60 mmHg or less, or Systolic less than 90 mmHg)
Age 65 years or more
Mortality Risk
Patients are stratified for risk of death as follows
0 or 1 Low risk (less than 3% mortality risk)
2 Intermediate Risk (3-15% mortality risk)
3 to 5 High Risk (more than 15% mortality risk)
Management Of CAP
Use Clinical Judgment in conjunction with the CURB65 Score to Guide
Management of Community Acquired Pneumonia as follows
Consider Home-Based Care for patients with a CURB65 Score of 0 -1
Consider Hospital-Based Care for patients with a CURB65 Score of 2 or more
Consider Intensive Care assessment for patients with a CURB65 Score of 3 or more
Microbiological Test
Do not routinely offer Microbiological Tests to patients with Low-severity
Community Acquired Pneumonia
For patients with Moderate or High-Severity Community Acquired Pneumonia
take Blood and Sputum Cultures and
Consider Pneumococcal and Legionella Urinary Antigen Tests.
Timely Diagnosis And Treatment
Put in place processes to allow diagnosis (including X-rays) and
treatment of Community Acquired Pneumonia within 4 hours of
presentation to Hospital
Offer Antibiotic Therapy as soon as possible after diagnosis, and certainly
within 4 hours to all patients with Community Acquired Pneumonia who
are admitted to hospital
Antibiotic Therapy
Low-severity community-acquired pneumonia
Offer a 5-day course of a Single Antibiotic to patients with Low-Severity
Community Acquired Pneumonia
Consider Amoxicillin in preference to a Macrolide or a Tetracycline for patients
with Low-Severity Community Acquired Pneumonia
Consider a Macrolide or a Tetracycline for patients who are Allergic to Penicillin
Consider Extending the course of the Antibiotic for longer than 5 days as a
possible management strategy for patients with Low-Severity Community
Acquired Pneumonia whose symptoms do not improve as expected after 3 days
Antibiotic Therapy
Explain to patients with Low-Severity Community Acquired Pneumonia
treated in the community, and when appropriate their families or carer, that
they should seek further medical advice if their symptoms do not begin to improve
within 3 days of starting the antibiotic, or earlier if their symptoms are worsening.
Do not routinely offer patients with Low-Severity Community Acquired
Pneumonia
a Fluoroquinolone
Dual Antibiotic Therapy
Antibiotic Therapy
Moderate- and High-Severity Community Acquired Pneumonia
Consider a 7 to10 day course of Antibiotic Therapy for patients with Moderate or High Severity Community Acquired Pneumonia
Consider Dual Antibiotic Therapy with Amoxicillin and a Macrolide for patients with Moderate-Severity Community Acquired Pneumonia
Consider Dual Antibiotic Therapy with a Beta-Lactamase Stable Beta-Lactamand a Macrolide for patients with High-Severity Community Acquired Pneumonia

Glucocorticoid Treatment
Do not routinely offer a Glucocorticosteroid to patients with
Community Acquired Pneumonia unless they have other conditions
for which Glucocorticosteroid treatment is indicated
Monitoring in Hospital
Consider measuring a baseline C-reactive protein concentration in
patients with Community Acquired Pneumonia on admission to Hospital
Repeat the Test if clinical progress is uncertain after 48 to 72 hours
Safe Discharge from Hospital
Do not Routinely Discharge patients with Community Acquired Pneumonia
if in the past 24 hours they have had 2 or more of the following findings
Temperature higher than 37.5°C
Respiratory Rate 24 breaths per minute or more
Heart Rate over 100 beats per minute
Systolic Blood Pressure 90 mmHg or less
Oxygen Saturation under 90% on room air
Abnormal Mental Status
Inability to Eat without Assistance
Consider Delay Discharge
Consider Delaying Discharge for patients with Community Acquired
Pneumonia if their Temperature is higher than 37.5°C
Patient Counseling Explain to patients with Community Acquired Pneumonia that after starting treatment their symptoms
should steadily improve, although the rate of improvement will vary with the severity of the pneumonia, and most people can expect that by
1 week Fever should have resolved
4 weeks Chest Pain and Sputum production should have substantially reduced
6 weeks Cough and Breathlessness should have substantially reduced
3 months most symptoms should have resolved but Fatigue may still be present
6 months most people will feel back to Normal
Patient Counseling
Advise patients with Community Acquired Pneumonia to consult their Healthcare
Professional if they feel that their Condition is Deteriorating or not Improving as
expected
Hospital Acquired Pneumonia
Antibiotic Therapy
Offer Antibiotic Therapy as soon as possible after diagnosis, and certainly within 4 hours, to patients with Hospital Acquired Pneumonia
Choose Antibiotic Therapy in accordance with Local Hospital Policy(which should take into account knowledge of local microbial pathogens) and clinical circumstances for patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia.
Consider a 5 to10 day course of Antibiotic Therapy for patients with Hospital Acquired Pneumonia
