Workup
Workup to identify the predisposing factor including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), parvovirus (B19), cytomegalovirus (CMV), quantiferon tuberculosis testing were all negative. Genetic testing was deferred to the outpatient setting. [imedpub.com]

Now, although empiric antibiotic coverage is mainly based on the treatment setting, the diagnostic workup and empiric antibiotics can differ a bit based on the organisms that are suspected based on the appearance of the chest x-ray. [osmosis.org]
The workup to define antibiotic failure includes a tube dilution MIC/MBC ratio; the higher the ratio, the greater limitation of antibiotics. A serum bacteriocidal level (Schlicter test) is also useful. [antimicrobe.org]

Pulmonary Infiltrate
Pulmonary infiltrates partially obscured the margins of the heart, enhancing bilateral air bronchograms (Figure 3). [mdmag.com]
The presence of a new or progressive pulmonary infiltrate and a clinical syndrome consistent with infection helps to confirm the diagnosis. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
A patient was considered to have CAP if, at the time of hospital admission, he/she presented with respiratory symptoms and sputum, and exhibited pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiographs. [birpublications.org]
