Epidemiology

  • About 3.5 million deaths yearly have been attributed lower respiratory tract infection. It is the third most common overall cause of death and the leading cause of death among infectious diseases.[1]
  • Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death in the world and ninth leading cause in the United States. In 2001, 50,000 deaths were due to both pneumonia and influenza.
  • Mortality rate is low in patients treated in the outpatient department and somewhat higher in patients admitted.
  • A higher mortality rate is seen in invasive diseases, nursing home patients and severe bacteremia.
  • More than 40 % mortality rate is seen in ICU admitted patients.
  • An increasing rate of CAP is seen with age. 5.16 to 6.11 cases of pneumonia per 1000 persons is observed in the community for adults. A pronounced seasonal effect on the number of patients presenting to emergency department was also noted. During the winter months, there was up to a 50% increase in the number of cases compared with the summer months.[2] Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of pneumonia worldwide inspite of different etiologies worldwide[3]
  • Pneumonia and influenza are the eighth and seventh cause of death in the United states and Canada respectively.[4][5] A death rate of more than 60000 persons was recorded in 2005 due to pneumonia in ages more than 15 years. A difference in mortality ratio is observed in different countries like in United States/Canada 7.3 percent, Latin America 13.3 percent, Europe 9.1 percent.[6]
