Chest-X-Rays (CXR), Computerized Tomography (CT) or Thoracic Ultrasound (TUS) provide images deemed consistent with acute lung consolidation and suitable to confirm the diagnosis of community acquired pneumonia (CAP). Patients which may be affected by CAP are many , but diagnosis is not straightforward because we are managing "a disease characterized by educated guesswork" . Comprehensive imaging workup may be not regularly affordable in busy emergency rooms. Point-of-care TUS allows reliable diagnosis of lung consolidation and of pleural effusion. Regretfully, adequate TUS expertise is more warranted than actually available in most medical departments. Even not specifically investigated, a delay or even an impairment of appropriate TUS or CXR evaluation for several patients may occur due to time- or resource-limiting factors.
