| | Pneumonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The most important test for detecting pneumonia in unclear situations is a chest x-ray. | | | A normal chest x-ray makes pneumonia less likely; however, pneumonia is sometimes not seen on x-rays because the disease is either in its initial stages or involves a part of the lung not easily seen by x-ray. | | | In the United Kingdom, amoxicillin is used as first-line therapy in the vast majority of patients who acquire pneumonia in the community, sometimes with added clarithromycin. |

| | Aspiration Pneumonia: Current Concepts and Approach to Management |
| | Aspiration of pathogens from a previously colonized oropharynx is the primary pathway by which organisms gain entrance to the lungs, and therefore, in a broad sense, most pneumonias, are aspiration-related. | | | If aspiration pneumonia is not treated, necrotizing abscess formation may follow in 8 to 14 days, usually in a peripheral location, and is characterized by the expectoration of putrid sputum. | | | The clinical response to aspirated material is dependent on the interplay between the characteristics of the aspirate and those of the host. |

| | Aspiration must be considered in patients with a suggestive history, especially when results of other studies (eg, biopsy of pulmonary mass) do not yield sufficient information concerning a particular lesion. | | | Patient outcome depends on the nature (quality and quantity) of the aspirate and the baseline health condition of the patient. | | | Aspirated material in the lungs may lead to pneumonia, abscess, and empyema. |

| | ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA |
| | The sooner your pneumonia is treated, the less chance you have of problems. | | | Many health problems that affect muscles or nerves can increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia. | | | Becoming less alert due to certain drugs or alcohol, or overdosing on drugs increases your chance of having aspiration pneumonia. |

| | Postgraduate Medicine: Aspiration pneumonia |
| | Antimicrobial therapy for aspiration pneumonia is often empirical and should be based on patient characteristics, the setting in which aspiration occurred, the severity of pneumonia, and available information regarding local pathogens and resistance patterns. | | | When the decision is made to treat with antibiotics from the outset, the patient's clinical course should be monitored. | | | Few recent studies have used appropriate sampling techniques and anaerobic culture methods to define the role of anaerobes in nosocomial pneumonia. |
