Adults with symptoms of pneumonia: a prospective comparison of patients with and without infiltrates on chest radiography.
Abstract
Most studies on patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) require confirmation of an infiltrate by chest radiography but in practice admissions are common among patients with symptoms of pneumonia without an infiltrate (SPWI). The aim of this research was to compare clinical characteristics, microbial etiology and outcomes among patients with CAP and SPWI.
