ABSTRACT
Severe community acquired pneumonia (SCAP) has raised substantial concern due to high morbidity and mortality. SCAP is usually associated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and sepsis. It is suggested that organ function and coagulation/fibrinolysis improvement, organ injury reduction and organ repair facilitation are highly required besides microbiology detection and optimization of antibiotics strategy on treatment of SCAP. Neutralization antibody, steroid, immunmodulatory therapy, and Chinese medicine etc. contribute to organ function improvement from different perspective. The unique profile of multiple target and personalized therapy of Chinese medicine may become a promising new option for SCAP and MODS. The combination of Western and Chinese Medicine shed new light on SCAP treatment.
