Chest x-ray in cases of typical pneumonia shows opacity restricted to one lobe, while x-ray in atypical pneumonia may show diffuse, often subtle infiltrates. Together with the characteristic clinical features, newly developed pulmonary infiltrate on chest x-ray confirms the diagnosis. Management consi...
Objective:To study the imaging appearance of pneumonia in hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD)in children,and thus to improve the understanding about this disease.Methods:84cases were clinically diagnosed as hand,foot and mouth disease in children,and imaging findings of pneumonia in these cases were...
Chest x-ray findings and temporal lung changes in patients with COVID-19 pneumoniaMusaab Ali
Chest X-ray (CXR). This is the first-line imaging of choice in the evaluation of a suspected case of pneumonia. Posteroanterior (PA) and lateral radiographs should be obtained. However, CXR may be normal for up to 72 hours in immunocompromised patients despite having symptoms. Computed tomogr...
Almost half (38/75, 50.7%) of the patients with normal chest x-ray were symptomatic and the majority (12/13, 92.3%) of patients with abnormal chest x-rays were symptomatic, there was a significant association between the chest x-ray findings and the symptoms (P = 0.005). Only one...
likely. Bacteria tend to aggressively attack one lobe or section of the lungs causing a specific area of inflammation to take over the cells that were filled with air. An X-ray will show one white condensed area or opacity with the other...
Tuberculoma detected incidentally during X-ray and removed because clinically suspected for malignancy. Resection specimen formalin fixed Full size image Secondary tuberculosis can occur in some patients in later life either as an exacerbation from a tuberculoma or by a secondary infection. In these case...
(TNF-α). During the acute phase there can be imaging changes and clinical symptoms. The chest x-ray or computerized tomography (CT) scan may show the typical changes of a diffuse infiltrative process corresponding to the radiation field (Fig. 42.1). The symptoms are classically a ...
“shunt,” with perfusion but no ventilation. Dyspnoea, and ultimately hypoxaemia, ensues if sufficient alveoli are involved. Because adjacent bronchi are not involved, if enough alveolar tissue is consolidated the chest X-ray (CXR) or CT scan often reveals the classical “air bronchogram ” (...
However, despite these limitations, the present findings are still meaningful since respiratory virus coinfection in MPP patients is not uncommonly observed. Conclusions In the study, we determined the clinical significance of respiratory viral coinfection in children with MPP. We found that MPP co...
