What diagnostic tests are needed for community-acquired pneumonia?

P R Smith1.   

Abstract

Diagnostic tests play an important part in the evaluation and management of patients with CAP. Tests have key roles in diagnosing the presence of CAP and in assessing severity. An ideal test for microbiologic diagnosis in CAP is not yet available, and initial antimicrobial therapy usually is empiric. Nonetheless, when appropriately applied and correctly performed, tests for the identification of pathogens in CAP are useful and cost-effective.
