Staphylococcal pneumonia prognosis and treatment

General death rate of 30% -40%. Death is due in part to the majority of patients with severe complications. But Some adults have very healthy, but after the crises of influenza pneumonia, the disease develops quickly, eventually lead to death. Effect of antibiotic slow, long recovery. Most of Staphylococcus aureus produce penicillin enzyme, and resistant to methicillin resistance is on the increase. generally advocate the use of a penicillin-resistant to penicillin (such as oxacillin or naphthalene Fuxilin 2g, intravenous injection every 4-6 hours a time. Another major drug is cephalosporins : commonly used for cefalotin or cephalosporins Meng more 2g, intravenous injection every 4-6 hours a time, Cefazolin was 0.5 ~, intravenous, each an eight-hour meeting, or cefuroxime tment of advanced esophageal, intravenous, every 6-8 hours a time. third-generation cephalosporins result is not as good as the first-generation or second-generation agents. Lincomycin Hydrochloride 600mg intravenous injection every 6-8 hours a strain on the 95% effective. generally believed that to methicillin-resistant strains of all beta-lactam antibiotics are resistant. In many hospitals, Such strains accounted for hospital-acquired Staphylococcus aureus in 30% -40%, and the only community-acquired infection rate of 5%. If in doubt or in vitro tests proved to methicillin-resistant, General use of vancomycin. 1g usual dose of intravenous injection every 12 hours; have renal failure appropriate dosage adjustments.
