Atypical (walking) pneumonia - clear chest with marked CXR

HIGH-YIELD Appears 2×

CXR infiltrates out of proportion to a clear chest on auscultation = atypical pneumonia (often younger patients, dry cough, patchy/interstitial infiltrates). Mycoplasma is the classic agent; treat with a macrolide (azithromycin).
