Community acquired pneumonia is defined as pneumonia that an individual acquires outside the hospital or healthcare settings. Community acquired pneumonia is among the common infectious diseases and an important determinant of morbidity and mortality of any country. It is caused by pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Chlamydia pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella species, and viruses. Common symptoms of community acquired pneumonia are cough, fever, pleuritic chest pain, heavy sputum, dyspnea, and others.
Current treatment of community acquired pneumonia include antibiotics and sometimes anti-fungal and anti-viral drugs. Antibiotics prescribed for community acquired pneumonia are Macrolides, fluoroquinolones, doxycycline, amoxicillin, cefpodoxime, and others. In certain conditions, antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir or zanamivir can also be prescribed for the treatment.
Owing to the active government support and growing awareness regarding community health, the demand for drugs against community acquired pneumonia has increased. This has also initiated many clinical studies by pharmaceutical companies and research centers for the development of new drugs. For instance; CAL02, which is being studied by Combioxin SA, is currently in phase 1 clinical trials for the treatment of community acquired pneumonia.
