Pneumonia: Signs, Symptoms and Methods of Treating

Diagnosis of pneumonia involves critical investigation of symptoms presented by the patient and laboratory analysis of samples obtained. An x-ray is a test that uses electromagnetic waves to visualize internal tissues, organs, and structures. In a typical pneumonia patient, the x-ray would show fluid-filled lungs. Another procedure used to diagnose pneumonia in a patient is an analysis of the sputum released during coughing (Vallecoccia et al., 2020). The sputum obtained from a pneumonia patient is ordinarily thick with blood stains or yellow-green sputum with pus.
