This episode of the SOS AMS podcast focuses on the diagnosis and management of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). Our hosts discuss the pathogenesis, microbiology, and treatment of HAP, with a brief discussion of when we would empirically cover MRSA as opposed to just MSSA. They then apply the principles discussed to a patient case, going from differential diagnosis to management. Check out the clinical decision-making matrix for a summary of our top 3 differential diagnoses, as well as the relevant references at the provided hyperlinks.
