Usually initial therapy is empirical.[1] If sufficient reason to suspect influenza one might consider amantadine or rimantadine. In case of legionellosis erythromicin or fluoroquinolone.[2]
A third generation cephalosporin (ceftazidime) + carbapenems (imipenem) + beta lactam & beta lactamase inhibitors (piperacillin/tazobactum)
