The management of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an ongoing challenge in the primary care setting. This is due, in part, to the fact that management guidelines in the United States were published nearly a decade ago. Furthermore, there has been a dearth of new treatments. But that may be about to change. Management guidelines are being updated by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and are expected to be released this summer. In addition, several new antibiotics for the treatment of CAP are on the horizon.
在基层医疗环境中，社区获得性肺炎（CAP）患者的管理一直是一项挑战。部分原因在于，美国的管理指南是近十年前发布的。此外，新的治疗方法匮乏。但这种情况可能即将改变。美国传染病学会（IDSA）和美国胸科学会（ATS）正在更新管理指南，预计将于今年夏天发布。此外，几种用于治疗CAP的新型抗生素即将问世。
