Overview
Imaging with chest x-rays remains the gold standard of diagnosis when supported with other lab findings but it is recommended that, apart from x-ray findings, the entire clinical picture be taken into consideration before treatment is started. Patterns commonly found on imaging include lobar or focal nonsegmental pneumonia, lobular or multifocal bronchopneumonia pneumonia, and diffuse or interstitial (atypical) pneumonia.[1]
Chest X-Ray
Type of Pneumonia | Typical Organism | Chest X-Ray (Image) |
---|---|---|
Lobar/ Focal non-segmental[2] | Klebsiella pneumoniae | |
Lobular/ Multifocal Bronchopneumonia[3] | Staphylococcus aureus | |
Diffuse/ Interstitial (Atypical) | Mycoplasma |
