Sputum (thick mucous) ranging from clear to yellow to dark green may be coughed up.Diagnosis of the type is by sputum sample, blood tests and chest x-ray.Pneumonia can be mild to severe, but in all cases the patient must be seen by a qualified medical professional so that appropriate treatment can begin.
What is acute pneumonia?
Acute Pneumonia is an infection of the lung. Patients will present with fever, chills, cough productive of sputum, and shortness of breath. It can be a fatal disease especially in the elderly, very young, or immunocompromised. Most types of pneumonia are bacterial of origin, with pathogens like Staphlococcus Aureus, Streptococcal Pneumoniae, Klebsiella Pnuemoniae, with sputum production varying in color from green to currant jelly. There can be other causes of pneumonia such as viral and fungal causes which will not respond to antibiotics like the bacterial pneumonias do. If you think you have pneumonia then you should go to your doctor immediately. If indicated your doctor should perform a blood count, chemistry, and sputum analysis, and obtain imaging such as an xray. Most pneumonias are treated empirically without ever having knowledge of the specific pathogen but treatment is targeted at your risk factors for the different types of pneumonia.
