  • Streptococcus pneumonia [1]
  • (1) Lung (pneumonia)
  • Community-acquired pneumonia
  • Penicillin sensitive (minimum inhibitory concentration ≤ 2)
Oral agents: Penicillin V 500 mg PO qid, Amoxicillin 500-1000 mg PO tid, Cefpodoxime 200 mg PO bd, Cefprozil 500 mg PO bd, Cefditoren 400 mg PO bd, Cefdinir 300 mg PO bd, OR Doxycycline 100 mg PO bd.
  • (2)Sinuses (sinusitis)
  • Sinusitis (empiric therapy)
  • Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis
  • (3)Middle ear (otitis media)
  • (4)Bronchi (acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis)
  • (5)CNS (meningitis)
  • Empiric therapy
  • Penicillin sensitive (minimum inhibitory concentration ≤ 0.06)
  • Penicillin resistant (minimum inhibitory concentration ≥ 0.12) or beta-lactam hypersensitivity
Dexamethasone 0.15 mg/kg IV q6h for 2-4 days starting 10-20 min before antibiotic.
  • (6)Peritoneum (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis)
  • (7)Pericardium (purulent pericarditis)
  • (8)Skin (cellulitis)
  • (9)Eye (conjunctivitis)
  • Prevention
Pneumovax (23-valent) prevents bacteremia; impact on rates of CAP are modest or nil.
Prevnar vaccine for children <2 yrs age prevents invasive pneumococcal infection in adults by herd effect. Impact is impressive with rates of invasive pneumococcal infection down 80% in peds and 20-40% in adults.
Risk for bacteremia: splenectomy, HIV, smokers, black race, multiple myeloma, asthma.
