Q

How do you diagnose of CAP?

A

Q

What is CURB-65?

A

Used in the outpatient setting or whe data necessary for PSI scoe is not reasily available:
* 0 – 1 = outpatient treatment (*)
* 1 – 2 = admission to general ward
* 3 – 5 = ICU admission

If the patient’s CURB-65 score ONLY equals one (1) because of age ≥ 65 years old & NO other major comorbidities are present, hospital admission is NOT necessarily indicated.
