   Can atypical pneumonia be detected on a chest radiograph?

   • Despite the wide overlap between imaging findings in pneumonia caused by typical and atypical microorganisms, the possibility of atypical pneumonia can be raised by the presence of unusual findings on a chest radiograph in a patient presenting with infectious respiratory and systemic symptoms.

   What are the radiographic features of atypical pneumonia?

   • The radiographic features are often more extensive than expected from the clinical features. Atypical pneumonia has a pattern of focal ground-glass opacity in a lobular distribution. Involvement may be focal or diffuse and bilateral 9. There may also be evidence of pleural effusion. Bronchial wall thickening is another common CT finding 6 .

   Can chest CT diagnose atypical pneumonia?

   • Chest CT plays a relevant role in the diagnosis of patients with atypical pneumonia with normal or equivocal chest radiographic findings. Considering that CT can more accurately depict signs of infection ( 137 ), the indications for CT in patients with suspected atypical pneumonia may be wider and beyond the depiction of pulmonary complications.

   Jul 1, 2024 · There was also discussion of new evidence in the diagnosis and management of pneumonia as well as some continued areas of uncertainty. The diagnosis of pneumonia can be challenging, especially when there is an atypical patient presentation or when a chest X-ray is inconclusive. In such settings, additional imaging can help make the diagnosis.

   Lobar pneumonia is usually caused by typical organisms – such as Streptococcus pneumoniae – but may also be caused by atypical organisms – as in this patient. The consolidation obscures the left heart border indicating it is in the adjacent lingula of the left upper lobe.
