摘要
Approaches to treating pneumonia in the elderly have undergone significant changes, even in the past 5 years. Empiric therapy is based on the setting of the patient leg, community acquired, institutionalized [nursing home setting], or acute-care hospital). Emphasis should be placed on prevention strategies,,including pneumococcal vaccine, influenza vaccine, and strict attention to infection-control practices.
