Abstract:
An overwhelming majority of the pulmonary X-rays carried out on patients five to six weeks after recovery from pneumonia reveal no changes. A retrospective study of a five year material shows that pulmonary X-ray after uncomplicated pneumonia is unnecessary if the patient is clinically recovered on his/her next visit to the doctor. This conclusion is independent of the result of possible SR examination.
