According to recent findings, demographic characteristics, seasonal fluctuations, and geographic regions are factors for the community-acquired pneumonia. Community acquired pneumonia is a non-hospital acquired lung parenchymal infection caused by gram-negative bacteria “Pseudomonas aeruginosa” which is transmitted through inhaling infected droplets. Here, we are reporting a case of geriatric patient with chief complaints of cough in the past 20 days, shortness of breath, tachycardia, tachypnoea, fever, and chest pain from 10 days. physician was suggested go for further investigations and lab reports like complete blood picture count, ESR test, sputum culture test and radiographic findings like Chest X-ray, chest computed tomography. Standard treatment includes antibiotics like Levofloxacin, Azithromycin and antihypertensive like Telmisartan, and mucolytics like Ambroxol syrup and other medications like N-Acetyl Cysteine, levocetirizine. If early diagnosis and early treatment were initiated, then the progression of diseases would have been stopped and then the Patient was discharged with stable condition, but she must come for the follow-up sessions like OP sessions. If the patient follows the life-style modifications and precautions like practice good hygiene, take enough rest, consume healthy diet, the quality of life will be improved.
