ABSTRACT
Community acquired pneumonia(CAP)is characterized by high morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, with the elderly as the main vulnerable population.However, current guidelines in China and elsewhere do not offer specific recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of such patients.This paper reviews the definition, classification, epidemiology, etiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of CAP in immunocompromised elderly patients, to provide a theoretical framework for its diagnosis and treatment and for the formulation of guidelines.
