Value of noninvasive studies in community-acquired pneumonia
Infect Dis Clin North Am.
1998 Sep.
Abstract
Noninvasive diagnostic studies, i.e., sputum gram stain, sputum culture, blood culture and antigen detection assays will assist the clinician in the selection of initial antimicrobial therapy in some patients. These tests may be even more valuable in adjusting treatment regimens to prevent the use of broad spectrum antimicrobial agents as routine therapy.
