Lede

[edit]

Done Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 04:34, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref# 5 doesn’t cite the text.
Fixed with better ref Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 04:34, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bacteria

[edit]
  • "Bacteria are the most common cause of community acquired pneumonia,…."→ community-acquired pneumonia….. and also link it

Viruses

[edit]
  • Commonly implicated agents include: rhinoviruses,[13] coronaviruses,[13] influenza virus,[22] respiratory syncytial virus (RSV),[22] adenovirus,[22] and parainfluenza.[22]---- Both ref should appear 1 time at the end of the sentence.

Funji

[edit]
  • "……. with weakened immune systems due to AIDS, immunosuppressive drugs, or other medical problems. The pathophysiology of pneumonia caused by fungi is similar to that of bacterial pneumonia." →This may need a reference.
DOne Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:06, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Parasites

[edit]
  • "A variety of parasites can affect the lungs, including: Toxoplasma gondii, Strongyloides stercoralis, Ascariasis, and malaria." → For consistency use either causing agent name (Ascaris lumbricoides, Plasmodium malariae) or disease (Toxoplasmosis, Strongyloidiasis)
  • Same for "…..particularly Ascariasis and Strongyloides,……." Check it, there may be others…

Pathophysiology

[edit]
  • "Some viral infections such as measles and herpes simplex may reach the lungs via the blood." …….may be "Measles and Herpetic infections may reach the lungs via the blood."
Changed so that the terms agree. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:12, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Diagnosis

[edit]
  • This should be in sequence (investigations, physical exam, imaging and other lab test)
Not sure what you mean? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:16, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "- including a complete blood count, serum electrolytes, C-reactive protein and possibly liver function tests -" ….. hyphens (-) should be mdashes (—) per WP:MDASH without space or spaced ndash
Fixed Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:16, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Still not done. It should be like this "and blood tests – including a complete blood count, serum electrolytes, C-reactive protein and possibly liver function tests – are recommended." Zia Khan 19:15, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you mean. Like this? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 19:54, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A little more effort required here. They should be "tests—including" and "tests—are" or "tests – including" and "tests – are". Zia Khan 20:22, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Never use hyphens of any sort myself. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 22:35, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Prevention

[edit]
  • "preventative measures [47], as…." ref should come after the period.
Not sure. Was it fixed Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:17, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Management

[edit]
  • Pneumonia in chronically ill patients? You may add a little
We already touch upon "hospital acquired pneumonia". Which aspects are you wanting further on? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 06:00, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Prognosis

[edit]
  • "…..will stabalize in 3-6 days." → stabilize and ndash instead of hyphen
Done Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:26, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "other lung problems recover may take more than 12 week." → recovery
  • "..... any underlying diseases, and age[70] – online calculator" .... make a note the online calculator
Not sure what you mean? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:26, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "….. are S. pneumoniae, H. influencae and K.pneumoniae……" Since you have not abbreviated them earlier use both Genus and Species.
Done Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:26, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Do you really need calculators in the article? I think they should be at the end of the article. Zia Khan 19:03, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The CURB is very easy to calculate. I think however that we should keep the other one. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 21:18, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just remove those calculators because they are already linked to their main articles. Zia Khan 17:29, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I guess. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 23:00, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Images

[edit]
  • All the images need alt text, except the lead image.

  • You may add more categories.
Such as what? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 05:19, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, the article is fine, well-referenced (except a couple of phrases) and covers the topic significantly. I’ll take a look again once the above concerns addressed. Zia Khan 07:57, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks will take care of it when I get home in a couple of weeks. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 23:33, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
