Pediatric pneumonia
CAP
CAP typical pathogens
- Strep pneumo
- Haemophilus influenzae
- M. cat
CAP atypical pathogens
- Mycoplasma pneumonia
- Chlamydia
- Legionella
CAP - outpatient organisms and tx
Strep pneumo
Mycoplasma pneumonia
previously healthy then give them MACROLIDE (axithromycin, clarithromycin) OR DOXYCYCLINE
if other comorbids give fluoroquinolones ( levofloxacin, moxifloxacin), azithromycin + augmentin, cefuroxime
follow up 1 week
CAP - hospitalized - organisms and tx
S. pneumo
M. pneumo
fluoroquinolones ( levofloxacin, moxifloxacin)
consider macrolide + ceftriaxone
CAP hospitalized ICU bed organisms and tx
s. pneumo
staph
legionella
fluoroquinolones ( levofloxacin, moxifloxacin) + beta lactam -(ampicillin,ceftriaxone)
consider: fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin, moxifloxacin) + clindai
HCAP - organisms and tx
s. pneumo
h. flu
potentially drug resistant
OUTPATIENT: fluoroquinolones ( levofloxacin, moxifloxacin)
consider: macrolide + augmentin
HAP - organisms
s. pneumo
h. flu
staph
pseudomonas
ADMISSION:
EARLY/LOW RISK - fluoroquinolones ( levofloxacin, moxifloxacin)
consider ceftriaxone or Unasyn
LATE/HIGH RISK - cefepime pr pipercillin-tazobactam, levofloxacin + vancomycin (MRSA coverage)
VAP - organisms and tx
s. pneumo
h. flue
staph
pseudomonas
acinetobacter
stenotrophomonas maltophilia
< tx is same as high risk/late HAP>
Aspiration pneumonia and tx
anaerobes - fusobacterium, bacteroides
clindamycin - best for mixed flora in the mouth
consider: augmentin and Imipenem - carbapentum

amoxicillin or ceftriaxone
but macrolide for mycoplasma
