| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of 5-day antibiotic treatment compared to the usual treatment for more than 7 days in terms of treatment failure, during the 30 days after the day of hospital admission, in patients with Community Acquired Pneumonia with a PSI IV-V severity score that present an adequate initial response according to the criteria of Halm et al (clinical stability before the 4th day after admission).;Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate the efficacy of 5-day antibiotic treatment compared to the usual treatment for more than 7 days in terms of time of hospital stay and antibiotic-free days during the first 30 days after hospital admission in the same selected population 2. To evaluate the safety of antibiotic treatment for 5 days compared to the usual treatment for more than 7 days in the same selected population;Primary end point(s): Rate of treatment failure during the first 30 days after hospital admission: - Death for any reason during the first 30 days after hospital admission. - Hospital re-admission for any reason during the first 30 days after the day of hospital admission. - Restart antibiotic treatment for any reason during the first 30 days after hospital admission.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days | — |
