Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is an important cause of morbidity, mortality and expenditure of health resources. Globally, lower respiratory tract infection, which includes CAP, was the fourth leading cause of death in 2015 [1]. In developed countries CAP is the leading cause of death by infectious disease [2], and in 2014 it was the eighth cause of death in the USA [3].
