Community Acquired Pneumonia
What is on the horizon?
Research is continually being conducted to optimize therapies currently used to treat pneumonia. Antibiotic resistance is becoming more and more problematic; therefore studies are being conducted to develop newer drugs that will combat drug resistance. Studies are also being performed to effectively treat patients and shorten length of hospital stay. Because CAP is one of the leading causes of death in very young children, studies are being conducted to compare the efficacy of drugs that have formerly been considered unsafe in children but have proven efficacious in adults with CAP.
