We prospectively studied the clinical presentation of 1,379 patients admitted with CAP during a 4-yr period. A comparative analysis of disease severity and course was performed between 212 patients with COPD, ...
متن کاملClinical stability and switch therapy in hospitalised patients with community-acquired pneumonia: are we there yet?
I n this issue of the European Respiratory Journal, ENGEL et al. [1] studied barriers for early switch therapy in hospitalised patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The authors reference our initial work in the field of switch therapy, published in 1995 in Archives of Internal Medicine [2]. In hospitalised patients with CAP, the standard of practice before 1995 was to use intravenou...
