Abstract

This article not only reviews the essential aspects of community-acquired pneumonia for daily clinical practice, but also highlights the controversial issues and provides the newest available information. Community-acquired pneumonia is considered in a broad sense, without excluding certain variants that, in recent years, a number of authors have managed to delineate, such as healthcare-associated pneumonia. The latter form is nothing more than the same disease that affects more frail patients, with a greater number of risk factors, both sharing an overall common approach.

Keywords: Biomarcadores; Biomarkers; Clinical manifestations; Community-acquired pneumonia; Diagnosis; Diagnóstico; Epidemiology; Epidemiología; Factores de riesgo; Manifestaciones clínicas; Neumonía adquirida en la comunidad; Prognosis; Pronóstico; Risk factors.
