Khamapirad radiologic criteria as a predictor of pneumonia's bacterial etiology
Journal Title: Jornal de Pediatria - Year 2018, Vol 94, Issue 6
Abstract
Dear Editor, As the authors propose in their study, the chest X-ray has a significant role in the differentiation and identification of the bacterial etiology of pneumonia.1 The main findings of chest X-ray suggesting a pathology of bacterial origin are: lobar or segmental consolidation, pneumatocele and the presence of a pulmonary abscess. These findings are significantly associated with a typical bacterial infection.1
