Abstract
Community-acquired pneumonia is an illness with a wide diversity of clinical presentations. These presentations continue to evolve because of changes related to the host (increasing age; more people living in nursing homes; increasing numbers of immunosuppressed persons living in the community) and changes related to the causative micro-organisms, including increasing prevalence of penicillin- and multidrug-resistant subspecies of S, pneumoniae, and the discovery of new pathogens such as Hantavirus, C. pneumoniae, and Legionella species.
