Overview
Classification
Pneumonia can be classified according to the location of infection, either in the community or nosocomial. The following are the 4 categories described by the Infectious Diseases Society of America and American Thoracic Society:[1][2]
- Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP)
Pneumonia can also be classified as typical or atypical pneumonia, depending on the clinical manifestations, chest X-ray findings, and the pathogen that causes the infection.
| Typical Pneumonia | Atypical Pneumonia |
|---|---|
Classification of Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias[3]
Major idiopathic interstitial pneumonias
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
- Idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia
- Respiratory bronchiolitis–interstitial lung disease
- Desquamative interstitial pneumonia
- Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
- Acute interstitial pneumonia
Rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonias
- Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia
- Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis
Unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia
