AB Pneumonia,  an  infection  of  the  lung  parenchyma,  is  classified  as  community-acquired  (CAP),  hospital-acquired  (HAP),  ventilator-associated  (VAP),  or  health  care–associated  (HCAP).  Although  the  HCAP  category  initially  referred  to  CAP  caused  by  a  multidrug-resistant  (MDR)  pathogen,  it  now  describes  pts  with  at  least  two  or  three  risk  factors  for  infection  with  MDR  pathogens  (Table  134-1).
