The challenge of nonresolving pneumonia. Knowing the norms of radiographic resolution is key

Andreas Kyprianou et al. Postgrad Med. 2003 Jan.

Abstract

Pneumonia that fails to resolve after 10 to 14 days of antibiotic therapy can lead physicians to call for consultation or unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures. Understanding the infectious and noninfectious causes of pneumonia and their normal times to resolution is enormously helpful in the judicious evaluation of and timely intervention in this very challenging condition.
