Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common cause of presentation to
healthcare facilities. The diagnosis of CAP is usually made in patients with
suggestive symptoms, signs, and radiological features. A number of non-infectious
conditions, including neoplastic lesions, pulmonary oedema, pulmonary embolism,
drug-induced pneumonitis, diffuse alveolar haemorrhage syndromes, cryptogenic
organising pneumonia and acute eosinophilic pneumonia, may present in a similar
way and mimic CAP. These other conditions are often only thought of after
patients that are being treated as CAP fail to respond to therapy. The
non-infectious mimics of CAP require early diagnosis and appropriate treatment to
decrease patient morbidity and mortality. This article is intended to create an
awareness of the non-infectious mimics of CAP and highlight some of the more
frequent conditions as well as those that require early diagnosis and treatment
to prevent a poor outcome.
