Chest, 2003.

4 Epidemiology of CAP in Asia (ANSORP study) A prospective observational study of 955 cases of adult CAP in 14 hospitals in 8 Asian countries. S. pneumoniae was the most common pathogens (29.2%), followed by K. pneumoniae (15.4%) and H. influenzae (15.1%); 17% of CAP had mixed infection Serologic test was positive for M.pneumoniae (11.0%) and C.pneumoniae (13.4%). Only 1.1% was positive for L.pneumophilia by urinary antigen test. Of pneumococcal isolates, 56% resistant to erythromycin, and 52.6% were non-susceptible to penicillin. Song H, et al.

11 S. Pneumoniae: impact of modified non-meningeal penicillin breakpoints in CLSI isolates were identified in a hospital in Taiwan from For non-meningeal isolates, penicillin non-susceptibility was reduced significantly from 75.1% to 16% if the modified breakpoints were used However, isolates for which penicillin MICs were 1 2 mg/l increased significantly from 34.2% in 2000 to 59.8% in Ceftriaxone nonsusceptibility increased significantly from 2.8% before 2005 to 18.4% thereafter. Using the new breakpoints, clinicians may continue to use penicillin for the treatment of non-meningeal pneumococcal infections. However, as isolates with borderline penicillin MICs are increasing, continued surveillance of pneumococcal susceptibility will be needed. Su L, et al.

25 Clinical significance of macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae infection Among pediatric patients: total febrile days and the number of febrile days during macrolide administration were longer for pediatric patients who were infected by macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae Case report from Japan year-old woman with M. pneumoniae pneumonia (MIC of 64μg /ml for clarithromycin) failed to respond to 4-day treatment with sulbactam/ampicillin and clarithromycin Pazufloxacin was given in place of the previous 2 antibiotics and rapid clinical improvement occurred Suzuki, et al.

28 Discussions Duration of therapy and time to resolution of fever were significantly longer in those patients who received macrolide and were infected with macrolide-resistant strains. Among 10 adult CAP patients with M. pneumoniae infection who received macrolides monotherapy, resolution of fever 72 hours after initiation of azithromycin was achieved in only one patient (MIC of azithromycin 0.008μg/ml). No fever response at 72 hour after initiation of azithromycin with MIC of azithromyicn 2 μg/ml.
