Samenvatting

Van Vugt SF. Diagnostiek van pneumonie bij volwassenen. Huisarts Wet 2014;57(1):14-7.
Pneumonie is een indicatie om antibiotica te starten bij een volwassen patiënt met hoestklachten, maar het is lastig om deze te onderscheiden van overige lage luchtweginfecties, waarbij de huisarts een afwachtend beleid kan voeren. In dit diagnostisch dilemma blijkt de klinische blik van de huisarts van meerwaarde voor het voorspellen van pneumonie. Een CRP-test (afkapwaarde 30 mg/ml) heeft toegevoegde waarde als deze wordt gebruikt in combinatie met anamnese en lichamelijk onderzoek. De toegevoegde waarde van de CRP-test is het grootst in de groep patiënten bij wie de huisarts na anamnese en lichamelijk onderzoek nog niet goed kan beoordelen of er sprake is van pneumonie. Indien de huisarts kiest voor een thoraxfoto als aanvullende diagnostiek, is het percentage aan potentieel relevante toevalsbevindingen beperkt. Het diagnostisch proces bij volwassen patiënten met lage luchtwegklachten blijft complex en zal ook in de toekomst een uitdaging blijven.
