Dr. Teddie Joe Snodgrass, DNP-BC

A patient over 50 years of age, with a febrile disease associated with a sudden elevation of temperature after a sharp chill, with chest pain, cough productive of blood-tinged sputum, elevated leukocyte count with neutrophilia, and a confirmatory X-ray showing consolidating lobar pneumonia has most likely pneumococcal pneumonia. ................
