Overview
Although CT scans are not a primary modality of testing for bacterial pneumonia, they may be utilized in complex cases where the underlying cause is unknown[1] and/or when empiric antibiotic use yields no symptomatic relief in the patient. CT scans may be very informative and assist in differentiating infectious and noninfectious pneumonia.[2] Similar to chest x-rays, CT findings can also be described according to the type of pneumonia including lobar or focal nonsegmental pneumonia, lobular or multifocal bronchopneumonia, and diffuse or interstitial (atypical) pneumonia.
CT Scan
| Type of Pneumonia | Common Organisms | CT Scan | Findings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lobar/ Focal non-segmental[3] | Klebsiella pneumoniae |   |
|
| Lobular/ Multifocal Bronchopneumonia[4] | Staphylococcus aureus |    |
|
| Diffuse/ Interstitial (Atypical)[5] | Mycoplasma |  |
