title: [Applying of assessment scales for patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia in young patients].
abstract: One of the most important issues in the management of patients with community-acquired pneumonia is the correct initial assessment of the severity of the patient's condition. In the context of outbreaks of pneumonia among soldiers performing military service, this position is crucial. Up to date specialized scales were developed and used in clinical practice allowing assessing a risk on the basis of an adverse outcome, objectifying the decision on the choice of the place of treatment of a patient with community-acquired pneumonia. Various prognostic scales have their advantages and several disadvantages; in particular the possibility of their use to date has not been studied in the management of patients with pneumonia of organized groups. This publication is a brief description and analysis of the possibilities of applying the most well known scales in young people.
