CAP: Community acquired pneumonia can be due to many unexpected causes, including mrsa, pseudomonas and so on. If you are failing to respond to initial therapy would strongly recommend you be seen by a pulmonary or infectious diseases specialist and re-evaluated. This has the potential to become very severe very quickly. Please go soon. Good luck and best wishes.
