non-resolving pneumonias

"atypical-ness"

  • lack of ooze (effusion, sputum): "A good honest bacterial pneumonia should ooze and exude all over the place."
  • lack of lobar preference?
  • extrapulmonary manifestations: "This is often a critically ill patient with a series of various horrible problems, of which the consolidation is only a minor part."
