“…In the literature, we found 13 cases of necrotizing CAP due to P. aeruginosa associated with cavitation. Table 1 summarizes the 11 most recent cases [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]]. The main risk factors for necrotizing CAP due to P. aeruginosa are: lung structural abnormalities (including cystic fibrosis, emphysema, bronchial dilatation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), immunocompromised condition (including neoplasia, neutropenia, prolonged antibacterial therapy, immunosuppression), and exposure to contaminated liquids (including hot tub, spa, humidifier) [1,2].…”
