If your doctor thinks you have pneumonia, they may do one or more of the tests bellow.

  • A chest X-ray looks for inflammation in your lungs. A chest X-ray is often used to diagnose pneumonia.
  • Blood tests, such as a complete blood count (CBC) see whether your immune system is fighting an infection.
  • Pulse oximetry measures how much oxygen is in your blood. Pneumonia can keep your lungs from getting enough oxygen into your blood. To measure the levels, a small sensor called a pulse oximeter is attached to your finger or ear.
