Get An Update on Community Acquired Pneumonia.  The introduction of antibiotics in the 20th century marked a major turning point for infectious disease treatment including pneumonia. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 and it quickly became a game changer and profoundly dropped mortality rates. Despite antibiotics though, pneumonia still poses a significant health threat to patients. This was highlighted by the recent COVID-19 pandemic.  

Earlier this week on November 12th was World Pneumonia Day, a yearly reminder of the seriousness of the condition and its continued morbidity and mortality. Pneumonia is responsible for 1.4 million emergency department visits each year and is the leading cause of hospital admissions. Globally, pneumonia is responsible for over 2 million deaths each year.

For today’s webcast on Community Acquired Pneumonia, we have Dr Francis Kane joining us. Frankie is an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center who has expertise in both primary care and hospital medicine.

What you’ll learn in this webcast

As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to:

  • Recognize features of IDSA clinical pathway and its application in the treatment of CAP
  • Consider features of CAP to guide stewardship practices in antibiotic selection and duration

You’ll also learn about the following:

  • Viral Pneumonia
  • Duration of Treatment
  • Outpatient Treatment
