Overview
The chest x-ray of eosinophilic pneumonia may show reticular or ground glass opacities. The distribution of opacities is localized to the lung periphery in acute pneumonia and diffuse in chronic one.
Chest X Ray
- The chest x-ray of eosinophilic pneumonia may show reticular or ground glass opacities.[1]
- The distribution of opacities is localized to the lung periphery in acute pneumonia and diffuse in chronic one.
- Bilateral pleural effusions may be observed.[2]
