dc.description.abstractIt has been well known that advanced age, cigarette smoking, presence of comorbid illnesses, multilobar radiographic involment, ongoing leukopenia, corticosteroid therapy are associated with late resolving pneumonia. We aimed to evaluate the effects of certain factors that were relatively less investigated such as gender, smoking, localization and pattern of radiographic involvement, the time of initiation of antibiotic therapy and antibiotic type on resolution of pneumonia. We retrospectively assessed the records and radiographs of 98 patients diagnosed as pneumonia. Mean age was 54 +/- 15 years, 52% of patients were female whereas 48% of them male. Delaying in resolution was detected in 17.3% of cases with pneumonia. Delaying in resolution of pneumonia was significantly higher in females (13/51) when compared to males (4/47). Delayed radiographic resolution was significantly more often observed in interstitial radiographic involvement than segmental and lobar involvement respectively. Mean initiation time of antibiotic therapy in patients with late resolving pneumonia was 14 +/- 6 days whereas 10 +/- 6 days with pneumonia that resolved in expected time (p<0.05). Most of the patients with normally resolving pneumonia were using single antibiotic (75/81) where all the patients in late resolving group were recieving single antibiotic. In conclusion, we decided some factors including gender initiation time of antibiotic treatment, radiografic involvement patterns have significant effects on resolutin of pneumonia.en_US
