Overview
Pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States, especially in older adults, young children, and those with underlying chronic disease or immunocompromise. In primary care practice, two of the most important issues related to pneumonia are awareness of the common infectious pathogens and their treatment and decisions regarding the appropriateness of outpatient treatment. This course will provide the diagnostic criteria of the disease and discuss the pathology of several different bacteria strains responsible for pneumonia. The evidence-based guidelines for the treatment and prevention of pneumonia will be explored, and the course will end with a discussion of sick-day management and patient education needs.
