Abstract
Severe communityacquired pneumonia (CAP) is a particular type of the disease with high mortality and healthcare cost. The need in such practi cal guidelines is due to a high frequency of misdiagnosis of severe CAP and frequent cases of inappropriate administration of antibiotics in Russian Federation. These guidelines run epidemiology and etiology of severe CAP including current findings of antibacterial resistance of pathogens; pathogenesis; diagnosis; general management of patients including antibacterial and nonantibacterial treatment and respiratory support; and prevention. Adherence of practitioners to this document is expected to improve outcomes of severe CAP in adults. These guidelines could underlie local clinical guidelines, protocols and medical care standards of management of adult patients with severe CAP in RF.
