Abstract：Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is still the main cause of death in developed and developing countries. Early detection of poor prognosis for patients is the key to treatment and may affect the consumption and prognosis of medical resources. At present, scoring criteria are widely used to predict the risk of death, but there are some limitations. In recent years, many studies have shown that serum markers are effective right tools for the diagnosis, prognosis and subsequent treatment of community acquired pneumonia. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the relevant serum markers that have an impact on the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with community-acquired pneumonia in recent years.
