| Popis: | The clinical picture (fever, cough, sputum, auscultatory changes), peripheral blood parameters (leukocytosis, ESR) and radiological data are currently the criteria for suspecting bacterial pneumonia in patients with SARS CoV-2 infection and for indication of antibacterial treatment. The initiation of antibiotic therapy is empirical by taking into account the pathogens most likely involved in community-acquired pneumonia (Str pneumoniae, St. aureus, Kl. pneumoniae, Haemofillus influenzae, Mecoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia, Ps. aeruginosa). Beta-lactams (cephalosporins, carbapenems), protected beta-lactams, macrolides and fluoroquinolones are the most commonly administered groups, and the combinations of cephalosporins + macrolides and cephalosporins + fluoroquinolones constitute the most used groups of antibacterial treatment in order to include bacterial flora, gram-positive or gram-negative, and atypical. |
