Erythromycin is preferred for Legionella pneumonia, and can be combined with quinolone antibiotics such as levofloxacin.

3. Atypical pathogen pneumonia: Azithromycin and other macrolide antibiotics are preferred for Mycoplasma pneumonia.
4. Viral pneumonia: Symptomatic treatment is the mainstay, routine application of antiviral drugs is not recommended, and if immunodeficiency exists, antiviral treatment such as oseltamivir can be given as appropriate.
