Nonresolving and slowly resolving pneumonia. Diagnosis and management in the elderly patient

A M Fein et al. Clin Chest Med. 1993 Sep.

Abstract

Pneumonia is both more prevalent in the elderly and more severe. This article reviews the approach to nonresolving or slowly resolving pneumonia in the elderly. Specific attention will be given to the natural history of commonly occurring pneumonias in this age group, related host defense impairments, unusual infectious causes of slowly resolving pneumonia, and noninfectious mimics of pneumonia.
