Signs and tests: advertisement People with suspected pneumonia should undergo a medical evaluation, including a thorough physical exam and a chest X-ray -- especially since the physical exam may not always distinguish pneumonia from acute bronchitis or other respiratory infections. Depending on the severity of illness, additional studies, such as a complete blood count, blood cultures, and sputum cultures, may be obtained. When certain forms of atypical pneumonia are suspected, tests of your urine or a throat swab may be ordered as well.
