ABSTRACT

An updated literature review on the treatment of patients with pneumonia acquired in the community was carried out. The general therapeutic measures and the administration of medications were considered according to 4 stratification groups: first, those affected who were under outpatient treatment, without history of cardiopulmonary disease, modifier factors or recent use of antibiotics; second, those under outpatient therapy and history of cardiopulmonary disease and/or modifier factors or recent consumption of antimicrobials; third, admitted patients in conventional rooms; and fourth, patients admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (with infection risk caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa or without it). Likewise, approaches and recommendations on the hospital discharge of these patients are offered.
