Résumé |
Uncertainty over the expected clinical course of a community-acquired or nosocomial pneumonia is a common reason for pulmonary consultation. Determining which patients with prolonged pneumonia and at what point during therapy they should undergo further evaluation can be challenging. This article reviews “normal” resolution times for the most common pneumonias, risk factors for delayed resolution, and infectious and noninfectious conditions that can cause nonresolving pneumonia. An approach to the evaluation of the patient with this common problem is described.
