Pneumonia in Immunocompromised Hosts

Respiratory tract infections in immunocompromised hosts encompass infections involving the nasal cavity through the lung parenchyma, typically presenting within 30 days and ranging from mild illness to life-threatening pneumonia. This course reviews pulmonary infections in immunocompromised individuals, which are a major source of morbidity and mortality due to susceptibility to typical, opportunistic, and reactivation pathogens, as well as atypical clinical and radiographic manifestations that complicate timely diagnosis. This activity outlines how host immune defects involving humoral, T-cell, neutrophil, or combined dysfunction influence pathogen patterns and disease severity across oncology, transplant, HIV/AIDS, and immunosuppressive therapies, as well as recommended evaluation strategies. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner’s competence in recognizing immune defect specific pathogen profiles, selecting appropriate testing strategies, applying evidence-based antimicrobial and preventive approaches, initiating management with pathogen-directed antimicrobial therapy, appropriate prophylaxis, and supportive care strategies tailored to immune status, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when managing this condition to improve outcomes and reduce complications.
