Múltiples agentes patógenos pueden infectar el pulmón y desencadenar neumonía en pacientes inmunocompetentes. Estos agentes incluyen principalmente bacterias, pero también virus, hongos y parásitos. El reconocimiento de los patrones radiológicos en radiografías y tomografías computarizadas del tórax es crucial para identificar los patógenos causantes, así como las posibles complicaciones y optimizar la estrategia clínica del tratamiento. Una aproximación precisa facilita la administración de terapias efectivas, lo que puede mejorar significativamente el pronóstico del paciente.
