A 45-year-old otherwise healthy male presents with fever, cough, and dyspnea. Chest X-ray shows a lobar infiltrate consistent with community-acquired pneumonia. He has no comorbidities and is hemodynamically stable. What is the most appropriate outpatient antibiotic regimen?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
For previously healthy outpatients with CAP, current guidelines recommend a macrolide (e.g., azithromycin) or doxycycline as first-line therapy to cover typical and atypical pathogens.
