II. Definitions

  1. Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
    1. Lower respiratory tract infection
    2. Develops in non-hospitalized patient
    3. May be Bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic
    4. May be present despite normal Chest XRay

III. Epidemiology: Community Acquired Pneumonia

  1. Incidence: 9.2 to 33 per 1000 person-years in U.S.

    3. Adults >80 years: 16,430 cases per 100,000/year
  2. Most severe adult cases are in older adults over age 65 years

XI. Imaging: Chest XRay

  1. Precautions: Underlying malignancy
    1. Confirm infiltrate resolution at 6 weeks after management (especially in smokers, or those over age 50)
  2. Precautions: Low Test Sensitivity in Pneumonia (esp. in early presentation)
    1. Chest XRay Test Sensitivity 43% (Test Specificity 93%) for pulmonary opacities consistent with Pneumonia
      1. Compared with CT Chest as the gold standard
    2. False Negatives are more common in early presentation
      1. However, Pneumonia is a clinical diagnosis, and may be diagnosed despite negative Chest XRay
    3. Serial Chest XRays may be needed, or consider bedside Lung Ultrasound or CT
      1. Repeat XRay during hospital admission is not needed if patient is clinically improving on management
    4. Negative Chest XRay does not exclude Pneumonia in severe illness
      1. Positive in only 40% of acute pneumococcal Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
      2. Treat empirically as Community Acquired Pneumonia if high suspicion despite negative XRay
  3. Indications: All cases of suspected Community Acquired Pneumonia
    1. Any patient with at least 1 of the following
      1. Temperature >100 F (37.8 C)
      2. Heart Rate >100 beats/min
      3. Respiratory Rate >20 breaths/min
    2. Any patient with at least 2 of the following
      1. Decreased breath sounds
      2. Rales or crackles
      3. No Asthma history to explain findings
    3. Other indications (not included in Ebell protocol)

      2. Confusion
      3. Known structural lung disease
      4. Age > 60 years old
      5. Systemic illness signs
    4. Ebell (2007) Am Fam Physician 76(4): 560-2 [PubMed]
  4. Causes: False Positives - alternative causes of infiltrates
    1. Atelectasis
    2. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
    3. Lung Neoplasm
    4. Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage (e.g. immune disorder)
    5. Pulmonary Embolism with Lung Infarction
    6. Right-sided endocarditis with septic emboli
    7. Tuberculosis
    8. Interstitial Lung Disease (e.g. acute Chlorine gas inhalation, Farmer's Lung)
  5. Causes: Pneumonia with effusion (and other non-infectious effusions)
    1. Pneumococcal Pneumonia (most common)
    2. Staphylococcal Pneumonia
    3. Haemophilus Influenzae Pneumonia
    4. Legionella
    5. Tuberculosis (especially consider in comorbid HIV Infection)
    6. Predominately left-sided effusions (e.g. Aortic Dissection, Esophageal Rupture)
    7. Predominately right-sided effusions (e.g. CHF, Pancreatitis, hepatitis)
  6. Causes: Lung Cavitary Lesions
    1. Lung Abscess caused by Anaerobic Bacteria (most common)
    2. Staphylococcal Pneumonia
    3. Pseudomonas Pneumonia
    4. Tuberculosis
  7. Interpretation
    1. Lobar infiltrate suggests typical Bacterial Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
    2. Diffuse, bilateral infiltrates suggests atypical Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)

XII. Imaging: Advanced

  1. CT Chest
    1. CT Chest is considered gold standard and frequently identifies Pneumonia not seen on Chest XRay
    2. CT Chest identifies more than twice as my Pneumonia cases not visualized on Chest XRay
    3. CT Chest excludes Pneumonia in False Positive Pneumonia cases based on Chest XRay
    4. Self (2013) Am J Emerg Med 31(2): 401–405. [PubMed]
  2. Lung Ultrasound
    1. May be more accurate than Chest XRay in the diagnosis of Pneumonia
    2. Findings consistent with Pneumonia
      1. Localized B-Line artifacts (Interstitial Edema)
      2. Localized liver-like appearance of lung (consolidation)
    3. Also defines other respiratory conditions at the bedside (e.g. Pneumothorax, Pleural Effusion)
    4. Test Sensitivity: 94 to 95%
    5. Test Specificity: 90 to 96%

Ontology: Pneumonia (C0032285)

Definition (MSH) Inflammation of any part, segment or lobe, of the lung parenchyma.
Definition (MEDLINEPLUS)

Pneumonia is an infection in one or both of the lungs. Many germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can cause pneumonia. You can also get pneumonia by inhaling a liquid or chemical. People most at risk are older than 65 or younger than 2 years of age, or already have health problems.

Symptoms of pneumonia vary from mild to severe. See your doctor promptly if you

  • Have a high fever
  • Have shaking chills
  • Have a cough with phlegm that doesn't improve or gets worse
  • Develop shortness of breath with normal daily activities
  • Have chest pain when you breathe or cough
  • Feel suddenly worse after a cold or the flu

Your doctor will use your medical history, a physical exam, and lab tests to diagnose pneumonia. Treatment depends on what kind you have. If bacteria are the cause, antibiotics should help. If you have viral pneumonia, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medicine to treat it.

Preventing pneumonia is always better than treating it. Vaccines are available to prevent pneumococcal pneumonia and the flu. Other preventive measures include washing your hands frequently and not smoking.

NIH: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS) A severe inflammation of the lungs in which the alveoli (tiny air sacs) are filled with fluid. This may cause a decrease in the amount of oxygen that blood can absorb from air breathed into the lung. Pneumonia is usually caused by infection but may also be caused by radiation therapy, allergy, or irritation of lung tissue by inhaled substances. It may involve part or all of the lungs.
Definition (NCI) An acute, acute and chronic, or chronic inflammation focally or diffusely affecting the lung parenchyma, due to infections (viruses, fungi, mycoplasma, or bacteria), treatment (e.g. radiation), or exposure (inhalation) to chemicals. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, fevers, chills, chest pain, headache, sweating, and weakness.
Definition (CSP) inflammation of the lungs with consolidation and exudation.
