Atypical pneumonia is pneumonia that is not caused by one of the traditional
microorganisms, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. Once atypical pneumonia is
diagnosed, it is important to identify the causative organism so treatment can
be tailored to the pathogen. This issue covers specific tests for atypical
pathogens as well as taking an in depth look at specific microorganisms and
diseases, including mycoplasma, legionella, and SARS. |
