Abstract

Causative diagnosis of pneumonia is problematic. The lack of a reliable gold standard for diagnosis has also made the development of new diagnostic methods for different microbes causing pneumonia difficult. Serologic methods are continuously used in the diagnosis of pneumonia caused by viruses and atypical bacteria. However, rapid diagnostic methods are urgently needed to guide clinicians to choose proper antibiotic treatment because resistant bacteria are emerging in different parts of the world.

摘要

肺炎的病因诊断存在问题。缺乏可靠的诊断金标准也使得针对引起肺炎的不同微生物开发新的诊断方法变得困难。血清学方法一直在用于诊断由病毒和非典型细菌引起的肺炎。然而，由于世界各地都出现了耐药菌，迫切需要快速诊断方法来指导临床医生选择合适的抗生素治疗。
