Q » How is pneumonia diagnosed?
06 Dec, 2025
A » Pneumonia is diagnosed through a combination of a physical examination, patient history, and diagnostic tests. Doctors listen for abnormal lung sounds and may order a chest X-ray to detect inflammation. Blood tests and sputum cultures can identify the causative organism, while pulse oximetry assesses oxygen levels. In some cases, a CT scan or bronchoscopy may be necessary for further evaluation.
