Overview
- Pneumonia is a condition seen in the vast majority of regions, but cases rates have been disproportionally higher in low and middle income nations, including the sub-Saharan African and South Asian regions.
- Pneumonia case rates are primarily affected by factors relating to seasonal variations. Studies show that a majority of Streptococcus pneumoniae cases were most prevalent during the winter, whereas far fewer cases presented in the summertime in comparison.[1]. Specifications regarding geography are of considerable importance in regards to fungal pneumonia[2].
Incidence
- Approximately 5 million people are affected every year in the United States alone, with outpatients making up the majority at 80% but having a low mortality rate of 1%. Up to half of the patients that are admitted into hospitals succumb to the disease.[3]
- Worldwide, the incidence of community acquired pneumonia averages 1.5-14 cases per every 1000 individuals.[2]
- The incidence in the United States is approximately 25 cases per 10,000 adults.[2]
