Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Canada During Coronavirus Disease 2019

Abstract: Dealing with COVID-19 has been a monumental test of medical skills and resources worldwide. The management of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) can at times be difficult but treating CAP in the setting of COVID-19 can be particularly trying and confusing and raises a number of challenging questions relating to etiology, diagnosis and of course, treatment. This paper is based on the authors’ experiences and presents an overview of how CAP during COVID-19 is handled in Canada. Hopefully this will provide some p… Show more

“…Diagnosing bacterial CAP and HAP in patients affected by COVID-19 is challenging, as the symptoms of viral and bacterial pneumonia overlap significantly [7,[35][36][37][38]. The traditional diagnostic criteria of CAP (clinical symptoms, radiological findings, general and laboratory signs of infection/inflammation, and microbiological findings) in patients with hypoxemic failure (and/or ARDS) due to COVID-19 pneumonia have numerous drawbacks [39].…”

“…С учетом нарастающей в Российской Федерации резистентности и ростом МПК 90 оптимальная доза перорального амоксициллина -750-1000 мг на прием, препарат принимается 3 раза в сутки [19,20]. При аллергии на β-лактамы надежной альтернативой являются рФХ (моксифлоксацин 400 мг, левофлоксацин не менее 500 мг 2 раза в сутки) [1,4,7,14,[18][19][20][46][47][48][49][50]. Применение левофлоксацина оправдано в случаях высокой вероятности синегнойной инфекции, например у лиц с тяжелой ХОБЛ и/или бронхоэктазами при непереносимости β-лактамов, в том числе карбапенемов.…”

“…Макролиды: стартовая эмпирическая монотерапия макролидами при легких формах ВП в настоящее время не рекомендована в связи с высокими уровнями резистентности пневмококка и гемофильной палочки [1]. Это положение справедливо для регионов, где уровень резистентности пневмококка к макролидам достиг и превышает 25%, что наблюдается как в России, так и за рубежом [4,14,77,78].…”
