Mais Al-Sardi, Doaa Al-Faif

Abstract

There are many mimickers to community acquired pneumonia and pulmonary embolism is one of them. It’s important to acknowledge patients complaints and when facing non-resolving pneumonia an alternative diagnosis should be considered. Early diagnosis leads to early treatment which reduces the mortality of PE.
