Postobstructive Pneumonia -Diagnosis

From (http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/300157-overview) (http://www.checkpneumoniasymptoms.com/postobstructive-pneumonia.html)
Some info:

Postobstructive pneumonia refers to pneumonia occurring distally to bronchial obstruction. This condition resulting from an airway obstruction is commonly seen in cases of lung cancer.

Bronchial airway obstruction due to tumour can lead to postobstructive pneumonia. As this condition manifests over a period of weeks to months the condition may develop necrosis and the patient may experience lung volume loss of chronic nature along with secondary cavity formation. The initial pathogens in postobstructive pneumonia include such bacteria as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, upper respiratory anaerobes and some gram negative bacilli.
