Abstract
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in all age groups throughout the world. Bacterial pneumonia is the most described, with Streptococcus pneumoniae being the most important pathogen in all age groups. Viruses are also recognised as important causes of CAP both in children and adults. Viral pneumonia account for 13 - 50% of single pathogen diagnosed community-acquired pneumonia cases and 8 -27% of mixed bacterial-viral pneumonia.
