Abstract
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is considered as the most common infectious cause of death and the second most common cause of hospitalization in the United States. CAP is a major cause of antibiotics prescription and hospitalization worldwide, so rational prescribing of antibiotics needs to be paid attention. Data describing the actual management and effectiveness of several classes of antibiotics in treating CAP patients in Palestine are limited.
