Overview
Aspiration pneumonia is mainly diagnosed based on clinical presentation. The CURB-65 and the eCURB scoring systems are used to evaluate and predict mortality in patients with pneumonia. However, they are not helpful in aspiration pneumonia.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
- Aspiration pneumonia is mainly diagnosed based on clinical presentation.[1]
- There is no sensitive or specific test for diagnosing aspiration pneumonia or differentiate it from other causes of pneumonia.
- The CURB-65 and the eCURB scoring systems are used to evaluate and predict mortality in patients with pneumonia. However, they are not helpful in aspiration pneumonia.[2]
