Overview

This study is a prospective observation study for lower respiratory tract infections in medical intensive care unit. Microbiologic and clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with severe pneumonia in medical intensive care unit will be monitored and analyzed.

Description

All patients admitting medical ICU will be monitored for pneumonia. Both community-acquired (including health-care associated pneumonia) and hospital-acquired pneumonia will be included. Collecting data will include patient demographic characteristics, clinical features, microbiological characteristics including molecular work, and outcome.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients admitting medical ICU with pneumonia
  • Medical ICU admitted patients who is developed new pneumonia
