Diagnostic difficulties in patients with pneumonia and central lung cancer

Abstract

This work presents an analysis of x-ray, clinical, laboratory methods for the study of patients with pneumonia and central lung cancer, in order to study the main causes of diagnostic errors.
 It was established that the causes of diagnostic errors of patients with pneumonia and central lung cancer were the insufficient severity of the leading clinical signs of the course of the disease, the lack of an integrated approach in determining the volume and methods of examination, the inadequacy of accounting for the main radiological signs (localization, density, structure of formation, cavity of decay); lack of an algorithm in the stages of the diagnostic process and the late availability of specialized medical care.
