OBJECTIVES: High-dose penicillin therapy is effective in approximately 90% of
pneumococcal pneumonia cases diagnosed based on urinary pneumococcal antigen
tests or Gram staining at admission. The efficacy of high-dose penicillin therapy
for pneumococcal pneumonia diagnosed based on an initial comprehensive assessment
comprising a syndromic approach, Gram staining of sputum and urinary pneumococcal
antigen testing was investigated. RESULTS: Seventy adult patients diagnosed with
pneumococcal pneumonia based on an initial comprehensive assessment and treated
with high-dose penicillin G at admission were included. The median patient age
was 76.5 years, and 37.1% of the patients were women. The urinary pneumococcal
antigen test was positive in 67.1% of all patients, and Gram staining of sputum
showed that gram-positive cocci were dominant in 58.6% of the patients. The
primary outcome was treatment success based on vital signs until day 6. Treatment
with high-dose penicillin G was effective in 87.1% of the patients (95% CI
79.1-95.2%), and the proportion of patients who received other antibiotics
because of treatment failure with penicillin G was only 5.7%. The efficacy of
high-dose penicillin G treatment for pneumococcal pneumonia diagnosed based on a
comprehensive assessment at admission may be comparable to that in previous
reports.
