- Abstract
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a very common entity ranking as the first cause of sepsis [[1]]. 10132953 13 Darie AM, Khanna N, Jahn K. Fast multiplex bacterial PCR of bronchoalveolar lavage for antibiotic stewardship in hospitalised patients with pneumonia at risk of Gram-negative bacterial infection (Flagship II): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial. In addition, CAP severity varies, with 5-10% of hospitalized CAP patients being admitted in ICU for respiratory failure and/or septic shock presenting a mortality ranging to around 50% [[5], [7]]. Interestingly, despite the significant burden of CAP in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the fact that it differs from non-ICU CAP and general sepsis in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic management, only in 2023 guidelines on severe (S) CAP were published [[4]].
