      The Pneumonia of slow resolution is defined as that whose symptomatology persists after 10 days of an adequate antibiotic treatment or the persistence of radiographic infiltrations that stay constant after 6 weeks from the initial radiographic evaluation. This inadequate answer is due mainly to the presence of resistant germs, systemic diseases, immunosuppression stages and the presence of certain pathologies that are similar to infectious processes. There are still questions about the pathophysiology and therapeutic focus to follow; therefore the importance of knowing and understanding the related mechanisms with the inappropriate evolution to reach a more accurate diagnostic approximation. It is exposed in this review, the different postulates that have been written about the issue and based on these, an scheme for a more precise diagnostic is proposed.
