In one observational study, empirical antibiotic treatment that was not according to international treatment guidelines was an independent predictor of worse outcome among HCAP patients. [25] Guidelines from Canada suggest that HCAP can be treated like community-acquired pneumonia with antibiotics targeting Streptococcus pneumoniae, based on ...
Health care–associated pneumonia (HCAP) is an infection associated with recent exposure to the health care system, [83] including hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, dialysis centers, chemotherapy treatment, or home care. [84] HCAP is sometimes called MCAP (medical care–associated pneumonia).
