Pneumonia

What this deck covers

Pneumonia in twelve clinical teaching cases with worked explanations. Each case gives you a clinical vignette, four options, the correct answer, and an explanation of why each of the other three is wrong.

The 12 cases, in order

1. A child seen in clinic
2. What the imaging is for
3. What is happening in the lung
4. Reading the axial slice
5. Choosing the drug and the duration
6. Two days later on the ward
7. A probe on the chest
8. Looking at the collection
9. The sample in the pot
10. The tube on the ward round
11. Holes in the lung
12. The third admission

Diagnoses and management options tested

Clinical pearls from this deck

• Imaging earns its place when it changes something: a complication found, or a failure explained.
• The figures run normal, then congested capillaries, then alveoli packed with exudate.

The twelve worked cases in this deck, with the images and the full explanation of every option, are part of Pediatric Case Review membership. See what is included.
