The article considers the incidence, mortality and in-hospital mortality rates from community-acquired pneumonia in St. Petersburg, 2009-2016. Epidemiological characteristics were studied in comparison with values in Russian Federation, as well as levels in Moscow and the Northwestern Federal District. The relationship between incidence and mortality rates from community-acquired pneumonia and epidemics of influenza was demonstrated. After the analysis of the medical records of patients who died of community-acquired pneumonia, defects in the organization of medical care, which had a negative prognostic impact, were indicated. A series of measures was proposed to improve the situation with community-acquired pneumonia in St. Petersburg.
