It : It is not very uncommon to see patients with COPD ( chronic bronchitis or emphysema) patients getting diagnosed with pneumonia and vice versa. I will suggest you see a pulmonologist before getting labelled with any of these diagnosis.

Bronchitis clinical: A lot depends on testing performed in the emergency room.If abdominal radiograph obtained and density seen in lower lung, some patients get referred pain to abdomen and vomiting from lung process. Urinary infection and lung infection are not uncommon to occur together. Tests of urine specimen for infection and listening to chest, chest radiograph, are ways of clinically confirming these problems.
