The seriousness of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), despite being a reasonably common and potentially lethal disease, often is under estimated by physicians and patients alike. CAP results in more than 10 million visits to physicians, 64 million days of restricted activity, and 600,000 hospitalizations. This article discusses the epidemiology and bacterial causes of CAP in immunocompetent adults and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus.
社区获得性肺炎(CAP)尽管是一种相当常见且可能致命的疾病,但其严重性往往被医生和患者双方低估。CAP导致超过1000万人次就医、6400万天的活动受限以及60万例住院治疗。本文讨论免疫功能正常的成年人中CAP的流行病学和细菌病因以及严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒。
