Community - acquired pneumonia and obesity are two clinical nosologies that are highlighted by a high incidence and prevalence worldwide. Obesity influences both the balance of oxidative status and the clinical course of community - acquired pneumonia. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical course correlation of community - acquired pneumonia with oxidative stress markers in obese patients. A prospective cohort study was conducted, which included 210 patients divided into two groups: group 1 - 105 patients with community - acquired pneumonia and obesity and group 2 - 105 patients with community-acquired pneumonia of normal weight. The results of the study demonstrated that obese patients presented more pronounced clinical data and more expressive prooxidant markers compared to normal weight patients.
