34 Clinical indications for more extensive diagnostic testing

35 Urinary antigen test (for S. pneumoniae, Legionella spps.) Advantages available for patients who cannot expectorate sputum validity ever after antibiotic therapy FDA-cleared available immediate result more sensitivity and specificity than sputum Gram stain Disadvantages sens. and spec. may be less in patients without bacteremia antibiotic sensitivity test is not available required a licensed technician UpToDate online July 2012

36 Molecular diagnosis not point-of-care test beware contamination cannot R/O colonization none of molecular methods to detect bacteria are FDA-cleared sensitivity and specificity are consequently highly variable UpToDate online July 2012

37

38 The clinical response depends on host factors (e.g., immune status and co-morbid illness) bacteriologic factors (e.g., virulence, susceptibility to available therapies, and inoculum) disease factors (e.g., the degree of disease progression at the time of diagnosis and the extent of illness and physiologic compromise) therapy factors (e.g., the timing and adequacy of therapy, as well as the pharmacokinetics of the selected agent)

39 CAP in the elderly should be suspected in all elderly patients who have fever, altered mental status, or a sudden decline in functional status, with or without lower respiratory tract symptoms Adherence to the IDSA/ATS guidelines has been found to improve all; in-hospital mortality (adherence vs non-adherence) 8% (95% CI, 7-10%) vs 17% (95% CI, 14-20%; P< 0.01) length of hospital stay (IQR) 8 days (5-15) vs 10 days (6-24) days; P < 0.01) percentage of stable patients by day 7 71% (95% CI, 68-74%) vs 57% (95% CI, 53-61%), P < 0.01) all elderly patients should be vaccinated against pneumococcal disease and influenza lifestyle modifications and nutritional support are also important elements in the prevention of pneumonia in the elderly. Am J Geriatr Pharmacother Feb;8(1):47-62

40 Reasons for failure to improve as expected improvement expected too soon overwhelming infection unexpected pathogen or pathogens not covered by antibiotic choice antibiotic ineffective or causing allergic reaction local or distant complications of CAP nosocomial infection other non-infectious complications/causes impaired local or systemic defenses slow response in the elderly patient Adapted from BTS guidelines for the management of CAP in adults: update Thorax 2009: 64 (suppl 3)
