Abstract

The article discusses the problems concerning the diagnosis and treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in adults. Standardized criteria for the diagnosis of CAP, disease severity scales, prognosis and choice of treatment, as well as algorithms for rational antibiotic therapy are presented. Implementation of clinical guidelines provides diagnostic and therapeutic universalism, minimizes the cost of treatment, shortens hospitalization, and is accompanied by a decrease of mortality.
