This lecture forms the second of a three-part series on pneumonia in ICU. It describes the diagnostic approach to suspected pneumonia in patients in the intensive care unit. It will discuss the importance of history in predicting likely causative organisms, important for guiding empiric therapy. It describes the clinical, radiological, laboratory and microbiological features which are required to make a confirmed diagnosis of pneumonia, and the pitfalls of each of these modalities on their own. It introduces the concept of molecular microbiology and how this may change practice in the near future.
