Community-Acquired Pneumonia and Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia in Adult Patients with Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy: Outcome and Antibiotic Therapy.
Junyu LiangChuanyin SunLiqin XuGuanhua XuHeng CaoJin LinPublished in: Rheumatology and therapy (2020)
IIM patients complicated with CAP or HAP frequently suffer from unfavorable outcomes. Compared with IIM disease activity, CPIS worked as a better predictor of outcome in these patients. Also, the peak CRP level during hospitalization might be valuable in predicting prolonged antibiotic therapy. The existence of ILD might impede early discontinuation of antibiotics. Timely adjustment to antibiotics based on drug susceptibility testing would decrease the mortality rate and reduce the incidence of prolonged antibiotic therapy.
