Introduction. The proper of antibiotics treatment will increase the improvement of the patient with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and also counteract antimicrobial resistance. Community-Acquired Pneumonia is commonly found in Indonesia with an incidence of 2.4%. This study aimed to determine the proper of antibiotic selection for CAP based on IDSA-ATS 2007 guidelines with Gyssens method and evaluate the relationship between the proper of antibiotic treatment with the clinical response of patients. Methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted with secondary data from the previous study. Study was conducted in three hospitals in Jakarta, namely Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Budhi Asih Hospital, …

Background: There exists a large body of literature to help identify, diagnose, treat, and manage community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Despite this, there is little data that directly compares the clinical syndromes and complications of pure bacterial pneumonia to pure viral pneumonia. Our study compares the clinical presentation, morbidity and mortality of viral vs. bacterial etiologies of CAP.
Methods: This was a secondary data analysis of the Community-Acquired Pneumonia Organization (CAPO) international study database. Data was collected concerning patient demographics, physical examination findings, laboratory findings, radiological findings, severity of illness, and clinical outcomes and stratified according to the two study groups, CAVP …
