During this episode of the SOS AMS podcast, Julia and Nicki dive into  the diagnosis and management of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). They discuss the pathogenesis, microbiology, and treatment of CAP, with a brief discussion of the role of atypical pathogens. Our hosts then apply principles discussed to a patient case, going from differential diagnosis to management. Check out the clinical decision-making matrix for a summary of our top 3 differential diagnoses, as well as the relevant references at the hyperlinks provided.

 

The learning objectives for this podcast are as follows:

  1. Identify the mechanism by which patients become infected with community acquired pneumonia (CAP)
  • Discuss selection of empiric therapy of CAP in the context of commonly implicated pathogens
  • Describe clinical features suggestive that empiric coverage of atypical pathogens would be necessary
  • Apply knowledge of CAP to a patient case
  • Stock Media provided by raspberrysounds / Pond5
